That’s a good point about Starbucks.

Sears, Kmart, and JCPenney can’t get people to buy a shirt, but Starbucks has them lined up for over priced coffee.

I love to hate them, but they do make money.

Well they are not selling imports.

(except for the non-beverage stuff, which is made anywhere)

Just saying.

I was a Dunkin Donuts fan for the longest time, until I started researching Starbucks as an investment. The fact that they performed so well through the recession since 2008 showed me all that I needed to know. The fact that they did it without commercials was simply the icing on the cake.

I now have a Starbucks Gold Card and that is my exclusive coffee shop.
