With Free Coffee, Starbucks Increasing Visibility

Mrs P
Starbucks is giving away free of its new Pike Place Roast on all United States (U.S) stores beginning at noon eastern time on Tuesday, April 8. The Pike Place Roast is named after the first Starbucks store that's located in Seattle, Washington's Pike Place Market. It opened in 1971.

The free coffee is basically something Starbucks is doing to promote their newest product and it is the best way they can introduce it to the many Starbucks addicts, like myself, around the nation.

Many say that this is a way for them to win more customers, well who wouldn't want more customers? There's nothing with that. Starbucks has been around for many years and it is continuing to grow and I believe that what they're doing is great for them and the customers as well.

I have tried going to other coffee shops around town but I always end up going back to Starbucks. I guess I have learned to trust them and the fact that there's a Starbucks in every place I go to is just perfect for me. I can go to a Starbucks in another state and I can expect to get the same tasting macchiatto that I get from the Starbucks close to where I live. Don't get me wrong, there are many local coffee shops that make good drinks but not all of them do. I guess my point is, I can always trust Starbucks to make my drink just the way I like it.

There are many coffee shops around town and I just don't think that they are doing quite as well as Starbucks is. There's a Coffee Bean across the Starbucks that I usually go to and they're not as busy as Starbucks is. There's also some local coffee shops around town and they aren't as busy as Starbucks either. They are getting business but not the same amount as Starbucks is.

I've visited them before just try out new things but like I mentioned before, I always end up going back to Starbucks. I've just learned to trust Starbucks and I guess it's just different when the coffee place you go to is known all over the world and have a good reputation. Their service is always great and they have such a huge variety of drinks to choose from and you can expect them to make your drink the same way other Starbucks coffee shops do.
