They grew out of control anyways. Their product is overpriced as is. I think mcdonalds drove the nail in their coffin with the 99c iced coffee.

It's a shame to see this happen to any company, but as said before, Starbucks was growing out of control, with sometimes as many as 3 starbucks in a city of only 10,000!! That's crazy! I would never spend $5 on a cup of coffee ever!

Starbucks must have seen this coming one day.
