I may be buying stock in Peet's Coffee (PEET) as I expect the trend that Starbucks saw in it's stock price this last year to be repeated. Some attribute the rise to the free press they were dragged into by the media and brady bunch.

Expect Peet's to be a tad safer if they adopt the same policy from SB corporate.

FWIW, I've carried at Peet's even though they have that policy, they can just ask me to leave ;) :monkey

Beating them to the punch...

For the Public Relations team at the Brady Campaign, here you go, I've done your job for you. Go forth and spread fear and uncertainty, impressionable soccer Moms await.

Very interesting.. Before Schultz was the King of Starbucks he worked for Peet's coffee, and they ran the store in Pike's Market.
