After this initial target market Starbucks has since realized that they could target specific neighborhoods and social classes.

“McDonalds is planning to capitalize on the publics willingness to pay $4 for a cup of coffee by hiring baristas and dropping espresso machines in 14,000 of their fast-food outlets. Meanwhile, Starbucks, with business lagging, is fighting back with an “if you cant beat em, join em” strategy, by offering heated breakfast sandwiches and adding drive-thru windows to some of their locations.” (Tancer, 2008) As McDonalds and other chains realize the money in luxury coffee more companies will begin to enter the marketplace.

These smaller coffee shops have their core customers who will not give their business to anyone
