Starbucks is in trouble.  Per store earnings are falling.  Competition is on the horizon, with McDonalds planning to insert baristas into its 20,000 franchises.  Starbucks coffee, as a commodity, will find the competition from McDonalds stiff, with the fast food giant likely to be able to make high quality coffee drinks at competitive prices in often more convenient locations. Starbucks has become a commodity.  80% of the orders are consumed off premises.  In other words, most people coming into Starbucks are not coming in for the experience.  The company seems to recognize the consequences of this approach, deciding to expand more rapidly overseas where the statistics are the reverse.  80% of orders are consumed on premises .  In foreign countries, where homes and apartments are smaller and open spaces at a premium, Starbucks likely provides a meeting place that causes people to collect there and, concomitantly, buy and consume Starbucks products.  This is not true in the United States. As we have noted, Starbucks is increasingly an outlier in the US because it does not offer free Internet access (Peaberry's in Denver does, Caribou Coffee does, so does almost every independent coffee shop I've entered).  This discourages those ubiquitous laptop users from planting themselves in the shop and buying product throughout the day.  Do a small survey.  Go into a variety of coffee shops (including Starbucks) and count the number of open lapt ...

Wall Street Strategies submits: The state of the consumer is the hot button issue these days on the presidential campaign trail, as the so called "oil crisis" reaches mass hysteria. No, we haven't arrived at the point of gasoline rationing or siphoning petrol from a neighbor's GMC Yukon, but if prices stay at presently bubble-ish levels then the latter is certainly an option. While some individuals dust off their siphon hoses, or used Starbucks straws perhaps, the angst is particularly elevated for the nation's retailers. You see, companies selling products ranging from juice boxes to weather sensitive apparel are about to enter the critical demand periods of back to school and the holidays. This year got off on an inauspicious note as waning demand for discretionary goods led many retailers to bite the Profit bullet and enact what can be characterized as panic markdowns. Surely, this was welcome news for cash starved consumers, but was an unwelcome set of circumstances for retailers. We have been generally pleased with how consumer spending has trended in recent months, a trend that has been helped by still over indulgent lifestyles and by the arrival of economic stimulus checks. Whether stimulus check spending correlates into a reasonably profitable back to school selling season is anyone's guess, but we would not be shocked if consumers demonstrate a propensity to purchase goods other than $4.00 a gallon gasoline (latest read o ...
