I would like to know the total number of new Starbucks (SBUX) stores
in the United States for at least the past five years, i.e. at least
from 2001 on. Either calendar year or SBUX's fiscal year is fine for
the 5 years of data.

I need this broken out by geography (i.e., by region such as
northeast, midwest, southwest, etc, with each region defined) OR

Even better, by state or metropolitan area (MSAs or DMAs would be
ideal). If you can find it by either MSA or DMA, I'll give you a $10
tip.

The source needs to be one of four sources: the company, published
media reports, financial/Wall Street analysts or an academic (i.e.
professor at a college or university). You can try other sources, and
I might accept them, but I need this to be credible.

I was only able to locate the number of new stores opened for each
fiscal year (not location). Would this interest you?

Best regards,
Rainbow

I already have that (its in their annual report). I'm really looking
for the geographic split.

in 2005, US REVENUES WERE APPROX. 5,334 US AND 1,035 FOREIGN

IN 2004, US REVENUERS WERE APPROX 4490.85 US AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
FOREIGN WAS --PROB ABOUT "1874.305,"

WHICH IS JUST MY BEST GUESS. THE OTHER 3 COME FROM THE "FACTSET GLOBAL DATABASE"
