Who owns UK Coffee Shops ???

Feeling like you might wanna buy British???

Here's a quick skim of the internet to find out where our money goes ...

Starbucks - you guessed it. A publicly listed USA company.

Costa Coffee - a wholly owned subsidiary of Coca-Cola, which is a company from the USA, in case you were wondering.

Caffe Nero - private UK company with the main shareholders being UK and Luxembourg intermediary companies.

Pret a Manger - owned by JAB, a German company.

Blank Street - a private company from the USA.

Greggs - is a publicly listed UK company based in Newcastle.

Of course, supporting your local independent coffee shop is probably the way to go.

I don't care for #starbucks but they can be the only option for us early risers. They keep missing the mark on hot sauce. I like Sriracha but I like a vinegar forward hot sauce on my eggs. Their latest truffle hot sauce is a total non starter. It's easy, offer tapo tio or Cholula.

Starbucks faces new hot spill lawsuit weeks after $50mn ruling

> #Starbucks was facing another lawsuit over a spilled hot drink Wednesday, just weeks after a court ordered the coffee giant to pay $50 million to a man who was injured by a cup of tea.

> A lawsuit lodged in California claims Sabrina Michelle Hermes was seriously hurt when hot liquid tipped into her lap at a drive-through in Norwalk, near Los Angeles, two years ago. today.rtl.lu/news/business-and #US

I’m at a #Starbucks in a mall, and they accidentally burned my chocolate chip cookie, opening the toaster sent smoke everywhere.

Then the building smoke detectors trigger, which kicks on the air handlers to go to maximum to clear any smoke, which also triggers curtains to drop from key ceiling locations to contain the smoke from spreading. Then the automated building announcement system starts talking, and now the on-site inspector is here.

Life Safety building automation is pretty awesome. 👏

met with someone at my local #starbucks earlier. managed to grab a table right away so i took off my outer layers and sat down to text my friend that i managed to grab a table. wouldn't you know it, the manager on duty comes to me and tells me that seats are for paying customers only. i explained that, yes, i know that and that i was merely getting situated. she goes away, saying, "well i'm just letting you know."
