It's GREAT that they are expanding but I can see another Starbucks situation if they don't stop expanding so fast in one area!!! Of course I would love to have a company the size of Starbucks or even bigger than it in Greenville but not if America goes into another recession and Greenville sinks under because of it...(look at Seattle it was one of the most booming cities in America but since Starbucks, Boeing, Microsoft, and etc have layed off or even fired workers it's now not a good place for the recession)! Currently they have 18 locations and they want to have between 40-50 locations with in two (2) years, that's pushing it....so they better start building Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Atlanta, and etc locations!!! Greenville already has one major company that is laying off workers (Michelin) so I'm pretty sure that you guys or even the nation can't afford to keep letting that happen....
"The chain also opened a second cafe in downtown Greenville last week when it took over the former Port City Java site at on South Main Street. That shop will have a more upscale appeal, different from the chain's other locations, he said.
Waller said the company had been looking to move into Simpsonville and now has two prime sites on Fairview Road next to Taco Bell and on North East Main Street next to Anita's Restaurant."
It's already sounding bad to me...
