Starbucks to Close 600 Store! Oh Noooooo! Are they Going out of Business?
July 2nd 2008 18:38
I am sure by now all have read or heard about the 600 store closure. What do you think that means to Starbucks, to the economy, to your coffee drinking?
Why would they make a choice to close these stores? About 100 of them where already marked to close and the others where tacked on recently, and are recent openings (since 2006 or so).
Come on my business savvy bloggers, step up and give me an intelligent reason why this would happen, not just ... "the economy is bad", " the oil is too expensive", "Bush caused it".
I will give you a hint, look up "Incremental Analysis" and "Cluster Bombing" (not in the military sense)
Another tactic used for aggressive market share gobbling is the idea of purchasing leases out from under the competition.
Tactics, tactics, tactics, strategy completed, and Starbucks wins the checkmate!
Just remember, Starbucks plays Chess, not Checkers!
