Har, har!!!
See, *$’s is having a very hard time competing now that they’ve lost a few key aspects to great coffee. One - they can’t produce the great quality that many micro roasters can. Two - they have lost the traditional feel of a coffee house through migrating from true espresso machines over to simple push button machines…..hardly the feel of a great espresso! They may comeback—only time will tell!
This is really interesting.. 61 shops is a lot! Sounds like company is having serious problems. Anyhow, I still keep my thumbs up and hope they will open a shop in my country as well..
