Starbucks ‘Aware’ of Dumb Starbucks, ‘Evaluating Next Steps’
Dumb Starbucks, the parody coffee shop in Los Feliz that launched a thousand tweets (and probably more), has caught the eye of the green monster to the north from which it takes its name.
Starbucks Corp., only the largest coffeehouse chain in the world, said in a statement via a spokesman Monday that it is “aware of the store” that opened without much fanfare Friday in Los Feliz.
“It is not affiliated with Starbucks,” said spokesman Zack Hutson. The Seattle chain has more than 20,000 stores in 63 countries.
