Teen Soda Fountain

Here is the URL for an article from today's Washington Post. About Teens hitting the coffeee shops but citing just the chains. Thought some might find it interesting.

This isn't at all surprising really. If Starbucks is getting the teen business it's not about kids going to a coffee shop. It's more like kids going to a soda fountain. Think milkshakes. I doubt many would notice, or care, if the coffee were omitted.

Interesting. The Starbucks's flack seems to recognize that becoming a teen hangout is the kiss of death in terms of getting any other, actual cash carrying customers; the Caribou flack doesn't seem to have a clue.
