Starbucks Branching Out in Many Directions
We have three very different announcements from Starbucks.
First we had news that the coffee emporium was expanding its food options with the $100 million purchase of La Boulange, with that company’s pastries replacing the items Starbucks currently stocks. Starbucks also plans to take La Boulange, a Bay-area chain, national.
The Huffington Post says food sales are a $1.5 billion business for Starbucks. The company says it wants to add a French flair to its restaurants.
Second, Starbucks could start selling single serve K-cups in its stores next week.
