Over Six Hundred Starbucks to Close

Posted on July 1st, 2008 by ecthompson md

There are places in the U.S. where you can’t turn around without seeing two or three Starbucks stores. When I stayed in the Westin hotel in Manhattan, there were five or six Starbucks within a couple blocks of the hotel. Is this a sign that Americans are cutting back on coffee, or is this a sign of a more general economic downturn?

    I haven’t cut back on my coffee intake; and my pay check has not been getting bigger. I would have to say the later, Doc.

    That is my guess also.

    Thanks for your comment

    I just hope that one real coffeehouse ends up opening for every 10 Starschmucks that close.
