NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- If you thought the coffee at Starbucks was addictive, wait until you try the beer and wine…In a brief statement announcing the reopening of the store, Starbucks said it is offering wine and beer, as well as an "expanded food menu," at the location.
Just Starbucks flashing their business savvy as usual. What better way to capitalize on coffee's biggest consumers (hung-over students and post grads) than to offer them a little hair of the dog for their hangover cure. I’ve always found the unemployed art majors and beatniks sipping $4 coffee a bit obnoxious, but the chance to see the kind of people who are looking for a fresh brewed beer at 9 am (frat bros, alcoholics, and the homeless I assume) intermingling some douchebag in skinny jeans and horned rim glasses listening to Norah Jones is just too much to pass up. Sounds like a great idea for reality tv.
