StarBucks Closing their doors!


All the Starbucks in the US will be closing today! Well not forever... hehe... but for 3 hours. Starting at 5:30pm local time each of the 7,100 US locations will be closing.

The chain says it is closing to take time to re-energize it's employees... So I take it they're each getting a pound of expresso... I know that energizes me!

But seriously they are concerned over their falling US sales, with competition from fast food chains on the rise, they are looking for ways to re-invent themself.

Tip - Starbucks should give customers a frequent shopper club card... Every 5th coffee free... I love Starbucks so I am loyal but hey it may help attract other new loyal customers...
