20%? either you have an incompetent accountant or your weeping mortar style flourishes are killing your revenue stream.
They're going to MCD. People are buying a breakfast meal that includes coffee for $4 instead of a coffee for $4 and a croissant for $4... The stock is actually up .4% while the rest of the market's down.filled @ 15.88 (low was 15.74 just before the close). but w/ stox mixed today, this might not have been the best move (i.e., why would it trend down 3 3/4 % when the market's flat?)
maybe people are going to ditch sbux for tully's, peete's, etc.
It was only a matter of time before market saturation kicked in for them...
The term "insider trading" just took on some very different meanings for me...just reading that article @ fortune.com; the street loves them some cuts, ja? looking for a 5% bounce tomorrow.

Starbucks to close 600 'underperforming' stores
Tue Jul 1, 6:22 PM ET
American coffeeshop giant Starbucks said Thursday it would close some 600 "underperforming company-operated stores in the US market as part of a reorganization to pump up profitability.
"This decision is a result of a rigorous evaluation of the US company-operated store portfolio and includes the 100 stores targeted for closure in the company's previously announced plans," the Seattle, Washington, company said in a statement.
Starbucks also said it expects to open fewer than 200 new US company-operated stores in fiscal 2009.
In employment, Starbucks said full-time and part-time retail positions "will be eliminated," but many employees will be able to take available positions at nearby Starbucks stores.
"In January, we committed to transforming the company through a series of critical and strategic initiatives to improve the current state of our US business and build the business for the long term," stated Howard Schultz, chairman, president and chief executive.
"Our executive and field leadership teams conducted an extensive review of our US company-operated store portfolio with a goal of enabling our organization to focus its efforts on locations where we can more effectively improve the customer experience."
hope you got out early...and after hours trading has it up 4.6% - looking to dump it all for a quick skin.
