Coffee Shop To Spread Like Virus

If there’s one thing this town is lacking in, it’s certainly chain coffee shops. There just simply aren’t enough Starbucks here! Why aren’t there more Bucks County Coffees? Just last week, protesters were in the streets, demanding someone do something about it.

You can quiet down. More chains are coming! Local entrepreneur Joe Grasso has purchased the Saxby’s Coffee chain, moved its headquarters to the Curtis Building and says he’s in position to become the #2 coffee retailer behind Starbucks.

A Saxby’s will open next week in Wayne, and there will be close to 60 in the Philadelphia-area by the first quarter of next year, according to Grasso: “We’re growing at a pace of one a week. That should increase over the next five to six months.”

Pretty soon, we’ll have a chicken in every pot and a chain coffee store on every corner.

    Rockin!!!

    One more place for me to buy overpriced coffee and scoff at yuppies all while I surf the web for porn!

    Now, if only they would also sell single gear road bikes with pink mag wheels and little tiny handle bars… that’d be better than those skinny back jeans that I can barely fit into anymore because of all that damn PBR I’ve been drinking!!!

    Unless they opened in Fishtown, then I’d be pissed.

    Wait, I am pissed. AND ANGRY!!!

    Fuck it.

    What’s “ennui” mean?

    I miss Wolfmother. Ever since they started doing those Sprint commercials, my life just ain’t the same. Those bastid sell outs.
