Well it's a fact... The first Starbucks opened in Belgium at Brussels Airport...
Plans are to open more of them in Antwerp and Gent. But as I hear it's not going too well for Starbucks in the States? Some 650 plants are shutting down and 12.000 employees layed off?? ------------- - Gun control means: using BOTH hands! - Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |

Sorry, my mistake, couldn't find the right translation for the dutch word "filiaal"... (the online translator says "branch") ------------- - Gun control means: using BOTH hands! - Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |

I don't think Starbucks is hurting too bad. I think they realized that they over saturated the market and decided to close some under performing stores. There are over 11,000 stores in the US, so 600 is only about 5%. I also think the under performance has a lot to do with what Doc said about McDonalds. ------------- Boats: Current: 02 SANTE Sold: 89 Sport Nautique |
