Interesting.
Quoted: In the same spirit, I propose the Starbucks theory of international economics. The higher the concentration of expensive, nautically themed, faux-Italian-branded Frappuccino joints in a country's financial capital, the more likely the country is to have suffered catastrophic financial losses.

This is a big win for Top Pot. I guess doughnuts, but not breakfast sandwiches, are in line with Starbucks' plan of refocusing on the coffee.
Quoted: Top Pot Doughnuts, a small Seattle chain that caught the attention of Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz more than four years ago, will be in all company-owned Starbucks stores in the U.S. this spring.

In addition to the quoted event, there is a surprise event at the Pike Place Market Starbucks at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 8th.

You must be Mohit's friend before you can comment on this Fave.I requested my free sample the other day. I'm really curious as to how it will taste. I'm thinking "diner coffee".
It's awesome to see that this is a tribute to Don. I'm sure his family is touched.
