According to a recent article by Bloomberg Businessweek, coffee shop sales are up by 9 percent last year. The article also states that:
The boom is being driven by large chains. Of the country’s roughly 26,500 cafés, Starbucks accounts for more than 11,400 of them, Dunkin’ more than 7,600 more, and both are expanding. Only about 5,000 cafés in the U.S. are now run by independent operators and small chains, defined as businesses with 30 or fewer units, according to Technomic. While independent coffee shops are doing well—sales increased 6 percent last year—small chains saw sales drop 5.5 percent.
