You heard it right there is a Starbucks opening in a funeral home in Easley, South Carolina in August.
At first it sound more than macabre, it sounds plain wrong.
But when you hear the owner's plan it just sounds slightly less macabre. It's just weird. But the Funeral Home has always had coffee service and started as part of a General Store. So the locals are used to getting coffee there.
A new expansion of the facility will contain the Coffee Corner with the city's first Starbucks inside. It is a real Starbucks franchise but there won't be any signage like the rest of the world is used to. But there will be a staff and a side entrance so the mourners won't get confused with the morners in search of coffee.
It is still very weird if you ask me. Find out more about the story. http://www2.wspa.com/news/2012/jul/11/coffins-coffee-starbucks-open-inside-upstate-funer-ar-4113443/

Why Is Starbucks Selling K Cups?
It may sound strange that Starbucks is going to start selling K Cups in some of their retail stores next week. To many observers it seems like direct competition with their fabulously overpriced frappy drinks, but it's good business.
Starbucks has seen incredible growth in K Cup sales in other retailers and plans to take advantage of the trend. The move is proof positive that K Cups are not considered a fad and have become the preferred choice in at home brewing.
Find out if your local Starbucks is going to carry K Cups here: http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-06-07/starbucks-to-sell-k-cups-for-green-mountain-s-keurig-next-week

Free Coffee At Starbucks On July 4th
There may be no such thing as a free lunch but there is free coffee at Starbucks this July 4th. It is all part of a promotion not intended to increase sales at the coffee giant, but to get America focused on the problems facing our country.
It may seem like a roundabout way of getting to the core issues facing Americans but getting together around a cup of coffee and talking about America certainly seems worthy of a modern July 4th celebration.
Find out about the details for your free cup of coffee at Starbucks this July 4th.
