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


You mean the place that doesn't have black coffee?

I don’t know. I feel like locally owned and operated coffee shops are having more success than ever.


And more are free to come in and fill the void. I'm a capitalist so I'm fine with Starbucks both expanding and contracting. If people don't like chains and don't want them in their community they are free to not frequent them and go somewhere else

They wouldn’t be closing if they all used the big breasted logo from the original storefront.

Many of these were franchisees that under performed.


not franchises, all are corporate owned or licensed from corporate (hotels/kroger/hospitals/airports)

so those starbucks close to each other were corporate owned and designed to capture as much market share as possible, they were not competing, they were working together

Black coffee is my go to there. They got a bunch of other random shite but so far as fast-food black coffee goes, they the best around.

There isn't much of a barrier to entry to opening coffee stores and they have a lot more competition than they used to. I have never been a starbucks person until this past year (maybe once a week). I have to say their service reminds me of a chick-fil-a.

The last time I went into a Starbucks it had a giant trans flag flying in it. I'm surprised to hear that any of their stores are struggling.

You're either a robot or a retard because Dutch Bros does not sell black coffee.

250 is a drop in the bucket to be honest. Sitting at work right now I have 4 within a 5 minute drive alone.

That said, I drink local. And if I’m going for a flavored latte, I can do that at home.

I don't drink coffee but I thought real coffee drinkers like Dunkin Donuts coffee?

They did the exact same thing about 8-10 years ago. Corporate never learns. In the meantime they overbuilt again…

If you don't have enough money for other things, then yes, that is an option. Some people make sacrifices when they need to because they have few choices. Others continue to make the same choices and complain online.

I’m a huge coffee lover and used to always go to Starbucks but have not been in over a year. It’s painfully slow even thought I just get drip coffee. The taste is not even that good. Plus the employees are weird.
