There's a Starbucks a mile from house that's across the street from a store with a Starbucks kiosk inside of it. There's definitely too many and the bubble was bound to pop, especially with 7Brew and Dutch Bros going nationwide.

Those millenial chicks who hung out at Starbucks are now moms who want an iced coffee from a drive theough.

Dutch Bros should move in on those locations and sell their superior product.


We know you like looking at the “broistas” baw. But any chain can have frat bros deliver your coffee to your car.

Because they opened too many stores during a period of rapid expansion.

There are also new competitors in that market


if you need a quick cup of coffee, the average circle k or 7/11 has better coffee than starbuck once these became widespread. The only thing starbucks has left is the fats and Dutch bros seems to be the prefered fat people coffee

When I lived in Houston about 15 years ago, there were two Starbucks stores literally across the street from each other, about 50 yrds. apart - no exaggeration.

They are opening about 175 new stores in the US in 2026

Starbucks built a brand new coffee shop on Johnston St (Lafayette) last year. It never opened and sits unoccupied. Homeless people have started sleeping on the covered porch and using it as a home. Guess they want to be the first in-line whenever it opens

YT video the other day of how they were using powdered silica in drinks to thicken was quite the eye opener.


Then YT lied to you because no one is trying to thicken a goddamn coffee drink. And no it's nothing like a milkshake either. Either you've never had one or you just like popping your fellow meatheads who think Circle K is some gourmet shite with a totally made up story.
