Not a good move, Mr. Schultz. If times are tough, go back to the basics. When I think fruit smoothies I do not think Starbucks. Go back to what intially drew people to your stores. How about lowering prices as a way to entice people back? That may work.
Have cut back on the lattes? Would a fruit smoothy bring you back in?
