US Restaurants Analyst Danilo Gargiulo joins host Diana Wood on the podcast this week to discuss American multinational coffee chain Starbucks. We debate the brand’s degeneration – from how Starbucks became synonymous with “coffee” and the away-from-home coffee culture among generations of people across 80+ countries across the globe to how recently, the brand seems to have lost its halo. Danilo explores contributing internal and external factors including the brand’s relevance among occasional consumers (and the younger generation), and the employee and customer experience driven by rapidly changing “channels” – plus we discuss the question investors are asking: is the Starbucks era over?
