Global Exchange : Starbucks to Acquire Seattle Coffee Company from AFC Enterprises (#)
„Seattle Coffee Company has built a strong wholesale business with both the SBC and TI brands. Whole bean and ground coffees under these brands are currently sold to supermarkets and foodservice accounts comprising approximately 12,000 points of national distribution, including more than 5,000 supermarkets. The $72 million all-cash, stock purchase transaction is expected to close within 90 days, subject to certain conditions and standard regulatory review. Starbucks expects integration costs related to the acquisition will reduce fiscal 2003 earnings by approximately $0.01 per share.“

„Details count in the hypercompetitive world of specialty coffee. If customers aren't happy at this Coffee Bean, there's a Starbucks across the street. These days there's a Starbucks across just about every street. Against this imposing foe, Sassoon and his partners are working up a head of steam for the chain they bought five years ago from the couple who'd made it a Los Angeles cult favorite.“
