Why are there so many Starbucks in Dublin?

because Capitalism + Sheep mentality = a for need muffins

Starbucks is like any other chain, no matter what country you're in you know what you're going to get and the quality of the product. Which is pretty average in Starbucks case, but a lot better than some of the muck served up as coffee in some places.

That strategy is exactly the one they use.

My bro lives in the USA and he told me the people of Washington were sick of the chain and a certain public opinion was expressed that if they opened another, they would put the windows in.

Starbucks opened another and the windows kept getting put in.

Starbucks decided to close that one down

Their coffee is vastly overrated.

i don’t like coffe because it gives me diarhoea, especially onse in the coffe shops. and the price of one cup of coffe is like one large bag of roasted milled coffe beans. easier to buy one and drink it a year. and if you didn’t know you can put the whole thing in a large put and boil, drain it and boil out the water, put sugar or alcohol in it and store on shelf or put in fridge if you don’t want sugar or alcohol. and you will always have coffe.
as for the starbucks, i’ve no idea why it’s even a big deal. i first seen canadian students being obsessed with it, starbucks bla bla. i don’t care about starbucks, see no particular thing about it. the only thing is they have good sitting and i snatched a few mugs from their shop cause they look kind of cool and it’s free.
so starbucks can go back to america, the same for mcdonalds. ireland needs to open something traditional irish.

The mugs aren't free. That's called stealing.

that’s pretty much it. the atmosphere is relaxing in starbucks. it’s a place to hang out rather than eat. i can’t drink coffe. it’s just not my thing. makes me sick all the time. i only like coffe if i make it myself. because i know how much i put.

hot water and beans plus min wage staff...sell the stuff on for 3-5euro...profit is guaranteed even if footfall isn't that high

I can never understand why people have such difficulty accepting that Starbucks exists and that (shock horror) some people actually like going there.

It's a cafe, it's popular, get over it!
