Thought people might be interested in this in regard to Starbucks and Franchise:
Q. Does Starbucks franchise?
A. No, Starbucks does not franchise to individuals. However, in situations in which a master concessionaire or other company controls or can provide improved access to desirable retail space (such as an airport), the Company may consider licensing its operations to such a company. Business Opportunities, International Opportunities
Taken from their website, food for thought

Actually Adieh its a falling price from 50p. I see no evidence of a takeover just a week rumour.
Please squelch me as you offer no reasoned resistance for your views.

The SP was on the way up long before the takeover press rumour and was due to the high volume of buying and with news from the company imminent then the recovery will continue IMHO.

Found this in one of the local papers (Czech Business Weekly) pushed through the letterbox.
American coffee chain Starbucks will enter the Czech market next year. Last week the worlds largest coffee shop operator Starbucks Coffee International signed a preliminary agreement with the Polish branch of restaurant operator AmRest Holdings that allows it to open coffee shops in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary. Negotiations between Starbucks and AmRest should be completed by mid-year, said Mateusz Sielecki, AmRests spokesman.
The first Starbucks cafshould be open within 10 months of signing the final agreement, he said.
AmRest, registered in the Netherlands but based in Wroclaw, Poland, manages more than 200 restaurants in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary. AmRest holds local franchises for brands KFC and Pizza Hut (owned by U.S.-based fast food restaurants giant Yum! Brands).
Also last month fast food operator Burger King Corp. awarded AmRest the rights to open the first Burger King restaurant in Poland, planned for mid-2007. Listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE), Amrest also operates its own brands such as FreshPoint and Rodeo Drive.
This would tend to put Starbucks out of any takeover deal, could be a private equity company though.
As for the price rise, any views on it being one of the institutions increasing their holding.

Or you could take the other view that it is rising on investor sentiment.
Still looking good. Doesn't seem like hype at the moment, but let's wait and see.

This is what I think and honestly believe.
I think that COH will eventually buckle under the increased competition.
It cant expand into top sites as there are not any worthwhile ones left with a high pedestrian through put.. And Worhtington has stated that he is not in the real estate business to go out chasing for prime locations.
Big Mistake.
Worthington has already displayed his propensity to cash in when the going gets tough as with Don Millars.
BIG Mistake.
Mr Worthington has already displayed a contempt for his shareholders as with BKE.
BIG MISTAKE.
I will ask all shareholders and ask fro an honest answer----- do they have any confidence in a FD that allows a Board of director to continue to draw wages from diminishings shareholders funds while not producing the goods, as is currently happening under Mr Worthingon......honest answer sonly please.
These are all big mistakes that do not add up to the image of a swtiched on, with CEO acting in the best interests of his shareholders---well not to me they do not.
Have a great week.

10B ..... as my mother-in-law says, "Take a stumm powder!" ...... by the way, this sort of tiddler is more often moved by rumour than real news.

Dont know what they are---do they work?
All penny punters thrive on rumours and sell on news, hense the cliche
Have a bash at answering the above question.

stumm = quiet ..... i.e. for goodness sake just shut up for a while ..... in your case, stumm powder + immodium may be needed to cure your verbal dysentry

But my dear cynic there are so many questions to be answered---are we not hear to enlighten over the repetitive rampers?
Look at this thread it was dominated by AieH and his ramping before I came here--and he was happy to keep on doing so.
And please note how nasty the rampers become when challenged and slink away.
We have here the opportunity to lift the quality of these BB and bring about an indepth honest debate.
I may have verbal dysentry but I also have a decent supply of soft smooth scented toilet tissue.

PS I will keep harping on while the situation is allowed to exist under Worthigton over at BKE where directors are getting paid for nothing at the hareholders expense---that is obscene, as all directors have a duty to thier shareholders firsy.
