Does Peets coffee worry Nigel Travis?

Jason Percy
   As a coffee express reviewer and Dunkin Donuts expert and fan I decided to pay one of their competitors a visit and this time I stopped and checked out another corporate rival. peets Coffee has much fewer franchises and locations Dunkin Donuts but they have some visible important spots in Chicago's suburbs that have executives at both Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks scratching thheir heads. Dunkin Donuts erratic CEO Nigel Travis has always been worried some hedge fund investors would give this company some funny monopoly money to expand its operations as no doubt many people may be tempted to stop here for a watered down coffee than Dunkin Donuts. Peets has an excellent location in luxury suburb Winettka that has many people stopping in during the morning and day prior to a train ride to the city.

The people here have a nice old fashion building attached to a walk able area and attached to other buildings and something like this should worry Nigel Travis. It seems all Dunkin Donuts are built from scratch in awful lumber and concrete mix of cheap material that has about the appeal of drinking and bottling sink water from a random Subway sandwich shop. The coffee and service was pretty good here as I did not expect it to be in the same category of Dunkin Donuts but peets of course does not have any of the fame stale Dunkin Donuts once a day baked goodies. I didn't see any Dunkin donuts around this downtown which is unusual as Dukin Donuts and Indian immigrants go hand in hand in this area as every town has at least one or two of these places catered to fat uncultured slobs like me on the go in my broken down truck.

Nigel travis does not wish to see these coffee houses pop up and he would prefer they remain and stay in a few college towns and primarily I believe in california and away fro his base of the Northeast,South, and the Chicago area where a great partnership with crooked vilalge leaders and construction forms bring about incredible sprawl for the world not to see while driving by.
