More Starbucks Cafes Coming - a lot more

So, Starbucks said yesterday that they are upping the goal for ~~owning~~ covering the planet with their Famous Starbucks Coffee Shops. How many coffee shops did you say? Yea, they said that they want to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 40,000 shops world wide ultimately, an increase over the 30,000 shops that they had as their previous goal. More power to them I say, that just makes it easier to get the Starbucks ESE Espresso pods, and a decent espresso where ever I go. Even if you don't like them, you have to admit that with their Fair Trade program and the charitable work that they do, the company is making a positive impact where they can while making a buck. I wish more companies had that mindset.
