Wake up and smell the coffee

A town just can’t have too many Starbucks Coffee shops, can it? All over the world, from the United Kingdom (278 shops) to Beijing (60 shops), the coffee that put Seattle on the map is brewed and served to anxious customers looking for that jittery jolt. (Oddly, there are no Starbucks in Central or South America, presumbly because of Juan Valdez’s stronghold there.) Chico currently has eight shops, with one to be built near where JB’s Bar and Restaurant is about to be torn down. Rumors are also circulating among local Starbucks employees that three more Starbucks are slated for Chico’s future.
