Gabby’s Lemonade is a cute name for a business.

Depending on where she lives, US or Canada, Gabby should appear on shark tank or dragon’s den to ask for money for her franchise idea..

For many years a street corner near my office featured two Starbucks, across from each other. Plus, on one of the remaining corners there was a local coffee shop, GrabbaJabba. We called it “Caffeine Corner”.

Star what, now?

Go bigger. Gabby-zon.

SB, over rated, over priced burned inferior coffee beans.

It’s an old cartoon.. In the future (read currently) “oversaturation” has caused many Starbuck outlets to fold.

Starbucks, when you sell an addictive product and strive to make it fashionable, you’ve got it made.

There are 162 Starbucks on Manhattan Island. 125 are less than 2 blocks away from another Starbucks. There is an area that covers parts of San Jose, Cupertino, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale, CA where there is a Starbucks less that 1 mile from another Starbucks. And that does not include Starbucks inside Safeway or Target stores.

I much prefer Local Coffee Shops or Dutch Bros for a treat but Starsucks always have a line of cars in their Drive-thru wanting $6 burnt coffees.

She’s got to sneak caffeine into the lemonade to make it addictive, if she’s using the Starbucks model.

no matter how many Starbucks there are i won’t be going into any of them…not a fan.
