Starbucks made an interesting acquisition last month, Teavana.  I looked at it hard, but the one in the Mall of America close to where I live had little traffic. The had free samples, but no place to sit down and drink.  I think the stock was around $20 when I first looked at it.  It went down to $10 and in November Starbucks made a deal to buy them for a little over $15.  I have read where Starbucks will sell some of their upscale Tea's at their Starbucks.  I'm not sure they bade a good buy, but maybe they have plans to remodel the free standing Teavana stores.
