40,000 Starbucks (SBUX) Stores?





If nothing else, 40,000 stores of Starbucks will be too boring.

From WSJ:

Starbucks Corp. said it plans to eventually have 40,000 stores, raising its previous target by 10,000 locations. The company also said it will sell its own line of music through Apple Computer Inc.'s iTunes online store.

The Seattle coffee company said it hopes to have 20,000 locations in the U.S. and 20,000 locations overseas. The company didn't say when it plans to reach that goal or exactly where those stores will be. Starbucks currently has about 12,000 locations in 37 countries.

"We have never been more enthused and more aggressive," Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz told investors during a conference in Seattle yesterday.
