Seasons Greeting from FindMeCoffee
The big news story that will affect the coffee industry is the merger between Tim Hortons and Burger King. The merger was given approval by the Canadian government this year and will see Burger King move it's corporate structure from the United States to Canada. While there are tax benefits to Burger King we expect that there will be a new major player in the coffee space in 2015. Adding the combined buying power of two very large coffee buyers could give them maneuvering room in 2015. We expect lots of promotions and offers from both companies in this space.
Continued Tech of Starbucks I think will make a big difference. Their continued entry into the digital wallet space creates a convenience that is unbeatable. Of the major brands here we see Starbucks as the only company that understands the new economy. The cashless convenience that they provide is an unmistakable competitive advantage. I for one never have cash on me but my Starbucks card is like the loose change from the console of our cars in the 80's and 90's. There always seems to be enough there for my tall Cafe Americano.
