The Creative Process: Starbucks Vs Einstein Bros

I love coffee ice cream, but just like coffee. I really barely know decaf from regular. I know instant coffee, but it is all really the same thing to me. I usually skip coffee but love breakfast. Today, I've been busy, and wanted to take a break with Starbucks. In most areas, you find a Starbucks on just about every corner. In this area of Maryland, I couldn't find one for a few miles. I did happen to come across and Einstein Bros Bagel Bakery. It looked empty and closed. I started to wonder how much is good coffee really worth.

Starbuck Vs. Einstein Food

I know Starbucks has bagels and so many variations of coffee it would make your head spin. Einstein's also has Coca Cola product on the tap with free refills. What I usually do not see at Starbuck is food for lunch or an afternoon snack.

Starbucks makes an effort to have afternoon food at some locations. However in the evening, I'm looking for something to eat. I'm not looking for the muffins or fruit that I normally see at Starbucks.

Einstein Bros has a new Pizza Bagel that is fantastic. You get your choice of pepperoni, cheese, cheese and spinach along with a few other selections. To say the least, Einstein's food selection has Starbucks outmatched

Starbuck Vs. Einstein Location

Ok, hands down we all know that Starbucks has more locations than Einstein. If you do not consider the Starbucks location in the grocery stores, Starbucks still has thousands more locations than Einstein. The numbers are amazing. Starbucks owns and operates over 6000 locations with over 3000 licensed locations. Einstein's owns and operates 340 locations with 100 licensed.

I know that sometimes quantity does not meal quality. Clearly there is a McDonalds everywhere, but I would not consider them the best food in the world. Starbucks location advantage makes them a household name. They have a brand that they have marketed and promoted well.
