Yet more Starbucks
March 12, 2004Well now that the known universe is saturated with Starbucks stores, they’re having to find new retail concepts to grow. And one they’re trying is to open music coffee house with HP. Not neighborhood joints where you’d go to listen to live music, but coffeehouses where you’d use the latest HP technology to pick some MP3’s and burn them onto a CD.
I don’t know if this is going to be a big success. I certainly hope not–we already have too many over-caffeinated people as it is. And this can only make it worse, since it encourages you to linger in the store picking out songs while sipping your second or third tall super latte.
