i think that's sort of across the street from the church

so Starbucks is not franchised like McDs then.

DOH DOH DOH Darn you, Pootle!

I walked past it at lunch time today, and was just gonna post about it. Just got back home now!

What is there at the moment is... a huge white banner inside saying "Starbucks opening soon!". Like they had in Schwabing.

ohhh this is oh so close to me! Im a happy camper!

preparing the molotov cocktails.

decaf molotov? or low-fat choco-mocca molotov with a caramel twist?

correct - Starbucks does not franchise, unlike MickeyD's.

molotov? oh please. last time I checked, communism didn't work. let's get over ourselves. if you like the coffee, buy the coffee; if you don't like the coffee, don't buy the coffee. clearly a lot of people, world over, like it quite a bit. throw your cocktail at them, if your knickers are in such a twist about its success.

And unfortunately there are a quite a lot of people who follow style and trends without thinking whether they actually like what they are consuming, be it coffee, clothes, TV progs, music.

As long as they are seen to be up there following what everyone else does.

baaaaa

heehee.
and a well-done brownie too. (to go)

People go to Starbucks because it's cool? Perhaps those in in the 18-21 year old range who give a shit about that, but not your average person. People go to Starbucks, because their favorite frappacino or double chocolate cake is there, not because it's cool.

starbucks does licence/franchise. starbucks germany was run by KarstadtQuelle until recently, when KQ sold the german franchise back to the mother ship for 18million (forget whether that was EUR or USD). Starbucks spain for example is run by the folks who run the VIPS stores

There are nicer places for a coffee to go in the area tbh.

joint ventures, not franchises.

no doubt. better coffee lots of places and better atmosphere available as well, in my opinion. my point was they'll stay if the people buy and expand if people buy, and leave/not expand if not. to blame the company and not the customers that keep them in business and expanding is, in my opinion, stupid.
