The coffee company reportedly plans to add at least 1,500 cafes in the United States over the next five years.
The Associated Press is reporting that the world’s largest coffee company plans to add at least 1,500 cafes in the U.S. over the next five years. The report indicates that Starbucks would have more than 20,000 cafes by 2014, up from its current count of about 18,000. The AP is also reporting the Seattle-based company also plans to move from its current Tazo tea and begin serving Teavana, which it announced it would acquire last month. Arnold's first Starbucks opened earlier this year at Jeffco and Highway 141. What do you think? Would you welcome more Starbucks, or are there enough of them already? Tell us in the comments below.

More than 150 million Americans drink coffee every day.
The aroma coming from the coffee maker, a favorite cup waiting on the kitchen counter or a heat-retaining mug filled and ready to go. Drinking coffee is a ritual many of us follow as regularly as brushing our teeth. We can salute that fact on Sept. 29 by lifting a cup to National Coffee Day.
