re: Starbucks is closing hundreds of locations

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.

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

Best coffee on the planet. Fight me.

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.
ETA: found the videos and article referencing the silica. It was for anti-clumping but is food safe, just in fine particles it was an irritant to the baristas. My point stands though.

You may have had a bit too much coffee today. Settle down.

FYI libs hate Starbucks and say they went maga so curious on why these stores are closing
Funny because my far right sister refuses to go there because they donate to Planned Parenthood. So I guess they made everyone mad?
Regardless of politics, their coffee is not worth the $7/cup they charge.

On the rare occasions I get takeout coffee, I'd rather go to Seven Brew or Dutch Bros.
Posted on 9/24/26 at 4:13 pm to RLDSC FAN
I think it tastes terrible so I'm okay with this.

Changing consumer habits maybe?

A grande coffee in midtown Manhattan is $3.95. A grande latte is $5.95.
Where are you ordering a $7 cup?

Yea, Id like to think it is merely because they are turds but there are some other reasons. 1% is a small closure for them
Around here in south Florida, us MAGA folk dont drink that liberal shite.
There are a few competitors that are doing very well down here while starbucks parking lot is empty. We may be the exception to the rule here and people are not drinking their overpriced shite due to politics.

I don’t know. I feel like locally owned and operated coffee shops are having more success than ever.
Chalmette getting a Starbucks caused the local shops to up their game.

Gotta be honest the world was a far better place by almost any metric before everyone thought drinking coffee day and nigh was a good idea. Back when you would have a cup in the morning and maybe another about 9 AM. Now folks line up all day every day to get their fix like fricking junkies at a methadone clinic.....I like coffee, I drink 2 cups in the morning and maybe one mid morning....and I am calm and collected. Folks drinking $20 of the stuff a day are anything but....

You arent wrong. My dad drank coffee all day long, but he was a truck driver and took a thermos.
I drink 2 cups before 8am and then I'm done for the day.
There are coffee shops and drive thru everywhere, Starbucks, scooters, 7 brew, Dutch bros, Bigbee, and others and there are cars lined up 8-10 deep any time of day. I dont get it at all.

Their growth was absolutely unhinged for awhile there, and now the economy has slowed down and there's a ton more competition. There was absolutely no way they were going to be able to continue that pace of growth.
