Starbucks 4Q profit drops 97 pct on closure costs

This is the reason there is no Starbuck's opening in Phoenixville. Plans were approved for the reuse of the Fountain Inn for Starbuck's but corporate downsizing axed those plans. But don't be distraught:

Schultz said the company's new breakfast items -- meant to entice healthy eaters to try a pastry with their latte -- have been successful and that its customer loyalty card program has tapped into consumers' desire for value.

The card program offers discounts and freebies, including free refills on drip coffee. A new "gold card" program gives customers a 10 percent discount on all purchases. That card costs $25.

Save $.65 on a cup of coffee. Great deal!
