Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. (BCCI)

[BobSinCA]

BCCI opened -- but also closed -- Tempe.

Company does not put out PRs for closed stores, of which there have been 5 in last two years: AZ (2), MT (1), TX (2).

BTW, I would not expect company to PR closing stores, investors have to do their own DD. But easy to do -- can start with the company's own website, which does not include the closed stores.

Company also puts out PRs for stores which never open. For example NJ a couple of years ago, 5 in AZ (2 eventually opened and closed); and double digits in San Antonio (2 opened and closed).

Company is clearly embarking on a campaign to attract more franchisees. Which is a smart thing to do -- enables expansion on someone else's capital, with pure margin flowing in. Question is how many folks will bite. Time will tell.
