So if you see anything interesting at the WSJ, I'll digg it for you
Just to try out, made a Digg submission for a story entitled At Starbucks, Too Many Too QuickStarbucks has about 10,500 locations in the U.S., or about 3,000 more than it did just two years ago. In its hometown of Seattle, there is one Starbucks for every 10,000 residents. That doesn't mean there isn't room for more Starbucks in the U.S. For example, Vermont, the state with the fewest Starbucks locations, has just four. The company plans to almost double its presence in the U.S. by one day having 20,000 locations.Personally, I don't like the over-roasted flavor of Starbucks coffee, and avoid it unless there is no other option. -- ahh, you have to access the page via Digg for this trick to work. Meh.
The concern is that the company has been adding locations so quickly that the new stores are cannibalizing the old ones to the point where the chain can't increase its same-store sales at the rapid pace to which investors have grown accustomed. In the past year, shares of Starbucks have fallen about 37%.
