Case 1: STARBUCKS
Seattle, Washington. Twenty years ago, if you said, “Give me a venti, vanilla, nonfat latte, no room, three Splendas,” people would have thought you were speaking a foreign language. And you would have been because Starbucks was just getting started. It began with 4 stores in Seattle in 1987, and today there are over 17,000 stores in 40 different countries. That means Starbucks has opened an average of 8 new stores per day! Unfortunately, with profits now a thing of the past, Starbucks has closed 800 stores and laid off 25,000 workers. Starbucks clearly overexpanded, providing fodder for late-night TV comedians who have cracked jokes about Starbucks
