There are only two places I have ever seen a "Starbucks",
at airports and at bookstores. I can't imagine
that this particular chain would have more than
a niche market.
You've gotta be kidding me! Where do you live?
Let me put this in perspective. My research shows McDonalds has about 16,000 locations. I also found Starbucks has about 7,500 locations. (This does not include grocery stores, or stores that brew and sell starbucks coffee. Many of the bookstore locations are not actually owned by starbucks, they are owned by the bookstore.)
So, you're telling me that a store with 7,500 locations is a niche market?
