Starbucks vs. Caribou
Even
though Starbucks makes more money, is worth more, and is more popular, caribou
continues to compete at the same level. Both companies compete with each other
for the best prices, the best coffee, and better food options this all helping
the economy because coffee lovers continue to spend money at both Starbucks and
Caribou. The love of coffee in the United States helps the global economy
because people are buying coffee from either Starbucks or Caribou, and then
both of those companies are buying coffee that is Fairtrade certified and
brings revenue to coffee producing countries.
