I hardly think that the economy is as much to blame as the fact that a) their coffee sucks and b) they are probably one of the only businesses I know that will open competing stores right across the street from each other.

I mean, I know people are lazy and all but does it really make sense to open the damn things a block apart? Are people really incapable of walking a few blocks for coffee?

Surely you have seen 2, 3 and sometimes even 4 gas stations at intersections – though competing brands. I think we have way too much over-retailing. Can anyone count the number of Walmarts in Oceanside – is it 3 or 4? All point to coming Commercial Real estate crash as the malls go dark.
