Think Starbucks is the king of coffee? I used to... 7-Eleven steps to the plate to set the record straight while trying to knock one out of the park!

Cool, only a buck for a cup of "custom" coffee

I like that...

I love the stands but man those $4 investiments kinda hurt... :smile:

I gotta be skeptical about the quality! I never go to Starbucks if there's a competitor in the area, but I don't count 7-Eleven! 98% of my java comes from Albertsons/Thriftway and is brewed by Mr. Coffee in the kitchen...

A friend I grew up with is one of the Dutch Bros....

The margins in their coffee is unreal!

I assume all the designer coffee places make about the same GROSS margin.

Someone once suggested to him that he start a credit system for his regulars near the Courthouse in Downtown Grants Pass. He replied "no way, I don't want people to see how much they are spending a month on my coffee, it would scare them off!!" Smart marketer......
