Strengths: they are an industry leader. In 2014 they reported income of $3 billion
Weaknesses: bad PR: they are known for destroying mom and pop coffee shops
Threats: intense competition, agricultural problem, and economic woes
Opportunities: drive thrus, lunch items, and serving beer and wine at night
With a good percentage of the public focusing on shopping local, small businesses can chip away Starbucks’ market share. This can be a problem if left unchecked. Typically mom and pop shops can offer high quality items that differentiates themselves from Starbucks in such away that it siphons off customers. Traditionally, Starbucks’ has used its purchasing power as a weapon. This has had a negative drawback….bad PR
With that being said, local businesses need not be targeted for destruction. They can become partners. In the same manner that Inbev has dealt with the craft beer movement, Starbucks should offer local roasters access to Starbucks’ distribution stream and supply chain. This would allow Starbucks to offer its customers local flavors from local roasters without the PR issues of muscling out small businesses.

Thusly, this competitive analysis chart illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of Starbucks’ and its main competitors.
Although the comparisons are subjective they can point to clues for reasons for success….as Robert will discuss branding issues
