Well, they've already got another thirty-odd stores in their arsenal. Diedrich Coffee, second only to Starbucks in terms of roasting and distribution (or so my bosses tell me), has purchased all but a handful of the leases for Diedrich Coffee retail stores.
I am NOT happy.

It's got me so flustered that I can't type properly, apparently. That should read that the Diedrich stores' leases were purchased by Starbucks :p
