Starbucks Corp

Williams-Sonoma, Inc.

Isn’t that kinda crazy lol. Maybe Schultz saw something that I see now. The brand power Williams Sonoma has its special. And as I like to say I always try to find companies that focus on women as the consumer/customer. Here’s one article I read:

Now, any sort of attempt to move that dramatically from coffee would be the reddest of red flags, an almost immediate sell signal for me lol
