30 Starbucks within 5 miles of my home. And I'm in a suburb of Seattle. My local Starbucks is the only one with a domed roof (I think that's our claim to fame.
)
I wouldn't be surprised if Starbucks buys Barnies Coffee. They DID buy Seattle's Best Coffee (not sure if the rest of the U.S. has SBC stores like we do?)
BTW, Starbucks purposely builds lots of stores nearby each other in order to keep the lines shorter. ("60 Minutes" did a segment on Starbucks a couple weeks ago & said this.)
