It's a lasting brand. Fading fads don't last this long.

everything is a fading fad.. it's only a question of how long it will last.. but I bet it won't be around 1000 years from now..

I think Starbucks is starting to peak. I think it will be a mix. It will last a long time but it won't be as popular as it is now.

It's a Franchise now, it's not going anywhere soon...just like Home Depot and Walmart.

Everything fades with time. There's always a new, better product on the horizon, and people are fickle. New research is coming out saying how great dark chocolate, and now cocoa, is for you, so I wouldn't be surprised to see all-chocolate bars start showing up, especially since it's one of our flavors anyway.

I think it is but looks like many people like to over pay for coffe and get soaked.

lasting brand. most people will complain about their prices yet most will continue to pay for it. Why? well a few reasons are some love things you can only find there like their specialty fappacinos and iced teas also its a social gathering place. it has become a place to be seen and to see all your friends and business clients.Its not going anywhere and I would be surprised if it became really popular again in a few years
