I NOTICE that a lot of people are linking to this article on how Starbucks seems to actually be creating business for independent coffeehouses. This seems right to me. Starbucks is coming into this area, and my brother-in-law, who owns two neighborhood coffeehouses, is unfazed. “My customers aren’t their customers,” he says. “But some of their customers will turn into my customers.” That seems to be how it’s working out.
