Did you know, Starbucks isn't Starbucks?

Starbucks is now Peets, What was Starbucks is some other guy, and Peet...retired.

Starbucks was opened in Seattle Washington by a couple Gentlemen who sold coffee, they sold Gourmet coffees, and oh yeah...they didn't sell it as drinks, they sold beans, whole or ground. They did offer drinkable coffee but it was as samples to taste the beans they sold. 

Peets Coffee was owned by a Gentleman who sold coffees to the Starbucks guys. He is the one that taught them all about the types, roasts, and grinds of coffees. 

The Starbucks guys hired a promoter to help sell their coffee, he was rather smart and came up with the idea of opening another store downtown and actually selling brewed coffees. It took off, seeing this the Starbucks Guys decided they hated the brewing and selling market. So they sold the name and the business to the Promoter, he opened a franchise and it sky-rocketed. 

Meanwhile the owner of Peets, the Starbucks guys mentor was selling out, The Starbucks guys bought it, and that's where we are today. Peets coffees are sold by the Starbucks Guys and the promoter is floating in money.
