According to speculation in a recent Reuters
article, the number of Starbucks locations worldwide may soon top that of McDonald's. Back in 2004, Starbucks set a
goal of having 30,000 stores worldwide, but according to Reuters, Starbucks' chairman has recently said that the figure
is too low. At present, McDonald's has roughly 31,000 locations worldwide, making it the largest fast food chain in the
world. Starbucks is already the largest coffee chain. According to Reuters, there's a Starbucks for every 11,754 people
in Seattle. This makes me think of some articles The Onion ran
a few years back.Starbucks may soon outnumber McDonald's

You'll understand my surprise when I turned a corner in the Forbidden City in Beijing, China and lo and behold there it was...a Starbucks. Yes, it tasted the same as here in the states. I'd post a picture of it if I were able to.
