kuletman Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 i don't think there's anything special about starbucks or any other coffee shop, for that matter, kahit sa dunkin' donuts mo pa trip mag-kape. coffee is coffee. kahit saan ka pa makarating. Quote Link to comment
cebucitylocal Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Starbucks was recently on the cover of Fortune magazine,Schultz the owner of Starbucks according to him is not a place you go to for coffee,but rather as a third place,the first two being work and home,starbucks is a envisioned as a place that is in between work and home,where you can do work,study etc in a homey enviroment.small bit of trivia,how many here know that Starbucks owns Seattles best coffee internationally,different franchise owners in different countries pero one owner.Schultz said our goal is to be number 1 and number2,rumour is that they are negotiating to buy coffee bean the singapore group with a branch sa GB3.imagine kung natuloy all the coffee places in GB3 owned by starbucks and people dont know any better evil Quote Link to comment
Jsquared11 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Nothing! Its a name brand and image...not the coffee you're buying... Quote Link to comment
Chi-Chi Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 This is a very simple topic but I must say that it's very interesting too. Well, I think that the reason that makes starbucks so special is its ambiance. The semi-dark semi-bright setting makes it easy for the caffeine addicts to adapt to the mood. That's the case here in New Zealand. I think back in the Philippines, most of the reason why people love starbucks so much is it makes them feel that they are part of the upper class since people who usually go there are somehow.. well off.

kadafy Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 (edited) it's a marketing thing... people are actually not buying the coffee. they're paying for the premium of being able to sit back, relax, enjoy, meet new people, observe other people, study, chat, negotiate, read the paper, hear good music, feel the cozy ambience, feel the "warm interior", to be served with a smile, be called by your first name when you order ...the lists goes on & on. in other words *bucks offered an alternative place to hang-out. they offered a totally new experience. it all boils down about finding a need & serving it. & the guys behind *bucks sure did a pretty god job. now these guys really earn "star bucks" by now...

occam Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Starbucks, as well as the other coffee shops, are boon to small businesses. It's a decent place to meet clients. Compared to the alternatives, they're quite inexpensive. I use to meet clients in hotel coffee shops and it always cost me an arm and a leg. Now I just meet them at Starbucks, or Seattle's Best or Figaro, etc. If you're looking for a less crowded, quieter place and excellent service, try Mocha Blend. I always order tall, WET, capuccino! I like my coffee, like my women, WET. Quote Link to comment
