The NY Post's Page Six has a rumor (fine, a juicy rumor) about Starbucks getting into the juice bar business. Mermaid CEO Howard Schultz was reportedly in NYC checking out trendy juice spots, and even hired a manager come back and train workers in Seattle. A source told the paper that Schultz "wants to start dividing coffee shops within weeks to make one half a pressed juice 'grab and go' bar." A Starbucks rep says this is all "rumor and speculation."
