Building a successful brand with multiple stores opening. Selling whole beans and premium priced coffee. They also new and understood their target market. Unlike many other coffee shops they sold the lifestyle around the coffee and made it an experience for their customers as apposed to it being just an addition to a donut in the morning. They made it a lifestyle choice and something to be desired as well as focusing very heavily on the customer service aspect of the industry. What was so compelling about Starbucks value proposition?

In the city of Des Moines, there are several small homegrown coffee shops that offer a unique experience. Java Joes, Zanzibar’s Coffee Adventure, Mars Café and Smokey Row, just to name a few have made contributions to the Des Moines coffee scene over the years. Whether it is being covered in local art like Zanzibar’s is. Offering live music performances and poetry readings from time to time like Mars and Java Joes. Or being the one stop shop and giving an oh-so-cozy atmosphere as Smokey Row does for Drake Students and community members alike, there is no one coffee shop that combines each of these experiences. This is, yet.

The main concept of the American Dream has been altered and changed due to self pleasing over-riding self reliance. Many people do not know what hard work is anymore. They do simple things and expect more of an outcome.

Starbucks- Starbucks is known for selling their premium coffee and tea products. Another thing that they do well is sell a comfortable environment. It’s a good place for people to hang out and socialize with friends and family. However they do not have

As mentioned earlier, our research method of choice is naturalistic observations. Each group member will be going to different Starbucks locations in the lower mainland. By going to different locations, we are expecting to prevent all of us from getting the same results from the same repeat customers if there does end up being any. This may also show us if there are different patterns in different Starbucks locations.

As I entered the Starbucks in the library I was hit with warm lights and the loud murmur of conversation. I passed the counter and the line of students awaiting their coffee, and sat down at a table. The chair was hard and the table was cold, so I rested my elbows on my laptop bag as I began to type. Students either studying or socializing surrounded me on all sides. To my left there were whiteboards on the wall, currently occupied by three students writing out equations. Behind me group of students sat at a bar and to their right was the Starbucks kitchen and counter. The noises that managed to break past the overpowering sound of talking came from that area. I heard the scooping of ice and coffee beans and the voices of the baristas as they

Each stores its own unique atmosphere. “Coffee shops are the largest growing niche in restaurant business”. (Goldschein, 2011) The original store is in the heart of the city with an urban chic feeling, using a converted warehouse as its backdrop. It provides ample private space to conduct business meetings, high speed WiFi, printing service for a small fee and small catering service to provide refreshments for business meetings. The second store is located on fraternity/sorority row, integrating itself deep into college campus life. It provides a place for college students to conduct schoolwork and group study. It has lightning fast WiFi and an abundance of laptop charging stations. The third store is in deep suburbia, catering to family and home life. This store has a children’s play area and it set up to look like a living room. This store also boasts a variety of child friendly drink options.

Imaging if there was no more coffee in this world, how would you feel? Nowadays, coffee becomes an important part of people’s life. People who often work overtime, they drink coffee because caffeine can make you awake; people who have to wake up early in the morning, they drink coffee because instead of making breakfast, coffee is more convenient; people drink coffee during the free time, because it also tastes good.

Dallas, unlike Seattle, isn 't exactly known for its coffee. However, each of these choices seem to stand out from among a bevy of lesser candidates. These Dallas-area coffeehouses were all chosen on the basis of style and atmosphere and all-around good service; not to mention their great coffee offerings. All three of these coffeehouses offer a delightful selection of beverages. Two of them are more conventional coffeehouse choices, while the third offers Asian bubble tea lattes and coffee drinks.These are my absolute favorite coffeehouses. The next time you 're in Dallas, I highly recommend giving them all a try. First, we have Uncle Calvin ' s Coffeehouse. Uncle Calvin 's has been providing great coffee and good music for more than 20 years. The weekend live shows are always chock full of terrific artists, good eats, great atmosphere and wonderful people. Prices range from low to mid-level with all proceeds going to either the artist or to fund the mission. Uncle Calvin 's Coffeehouse is located within the fellowship hall of North Presbyterian Church at 9555 N. Central Expressway in Dallas. It 's open every Friday night; exceptions being Wildflower Festival, Woody Guthrie Festival and the Kerrville Folk Festival. Don 't be turned off becuase it 's in a church. Calvin 's regularly puts up name acts like Adrian Legg and the atmosphere is anything but stuffy. Next, we have New Amsterdam Coffeehaus, located at 831 Exposition Ave. in Dallas. This coffeehouse offers a truly

As is quoted in the book “Starbucks seems to have a handle on how to gain and maintain employee loyalty.” I also like the way Starbucks treats its customers, you feel there as you are in a friendly environment. Schultz believes that he “has created a third place between home and work where people can go to get their own personal time out or relax with friends.“ (Peter & Olson, pg. 32) I think that what Schultz believes is very true and we can see this by the numbers of how much this store has expanded and how much popularity it has all over the world. The only thing that I don’t like about Starbucks is the price of coffee; compared with other stores here in Greece it has higher prices. So, the information I received for Starbucks had a very strong influence on my affect for the coffee shops and especially for Starbucks.

The context change in form that Starbucks found itself competing with smaller chains that resembled its former pre-expansion model with competitors focusing in creating symbolic-expressive value and fast food restaurants that had started to offer specialty coffee with more aggressive advertisement at a lower cost. The competitive context changed for Starbucks because it’s focus in mass distribution channels and its retail footprint strategy stated its product within a standard performance product value; this affected the value perception of the product.
