Recs

9

Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX) is now banking on the Clover, a device that makes fresh-pressed single servings of coffee. The coffee retailer's current competition ranges from the supersized McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) to the more petite Peet's Coffee & Tea (Nasdaq: PEET). Will the Clover bring good luck to Starbucks' stock price? Is McDonald's a threat? What can Starbucks learn from the non-caffeinated success of Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) (NYSE: CMG-B)? In this installment of "Fool Video," Motley Fool senior analyst Andy Cross talks about the future of Starbucks.
