Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. (BCCI)

Opening of the third SW Florida store would certainly validate the success of the first two stores. Failure to open the pre-announced third store would say something different (we all can agree on that, right??).

Hopefully, potential franchisees will be able to look at the financial records of the three stores and say, 'give me some of that.' Company has to sell franchises -- thus the current million dollar campaign focused on just that.

The company's website now shows 11 stores; 10 have pictures attached, with city names; the eleventh has 'Southwest Florida' with no picture, just the Baristas logo. To me this indicate the company is fully expecting an opening, even if later than originally anticipated in the January PR.
