Seems to me that I read in "U.S. News and World Report" not so 
long ago that Starbuck's may be having a few problems.  They've 
incurred resentment in some markets because of their tactics in 
taking over competing outlets and in some markets (such as parts 
of New York City) they've opened stores close enough to each other 
that they're competing against themselves and thus are hurting 
their own business.  They may have to cut back on expansion.
