Did you check out the link in BornHere's post? The guy that wrote that blog post has 43 Starbucks within a five-mile-radius of his apartment!

In the "open Letter" from the business columnist at the New York Times (above) he writes that Starbucks, with 15,000 stores, was still insisting they were shooting for 40,000 stores. Seems the columnist was right on the money concerning mismanagement. Makes you wonder if closing 600 is nearly enough.
