Starbucks To Open New Branch Every Fortnight For The Next Decade...

Starbucks is to open new coffee shops in London at the rate of one a fortnight for the next decade. The firm has outlined a relentless expansion plan, and says
it can foresee no limit to the number of branches in and around the capital.
Phil Broad, the firm's managing director for Britain and Ireland, said: “We don't think we’ve reached saturation point and we certainly don’t see London as finished yet.”
The news has horrified campaigners who fear the spread of chain stores is ruining the individuality of London's high streets by turning them into “clone towns” with identical shops.
