Starbucks has been the standard on what a coffee experience should be and are already the most expensive. CEO Howard Schultz feels he can truly make price irrelevant. The company announced that they will be launching a new chain called Starbucks Reserve-only in 2017. “We recognize our customers expect and desire a higher level of product and we want to give it to them,” Schultz said.

The Willy Wonka of Coffee

The new Reserve-only stores will be about twice as large as current Starbucks stores. If you want to hear from a visionary who isn’t afraid to go totally against conventional wisdom, watch this three-minute interview with Howard Schultz.

“This majestic place will take our customers on a magical carpet ride. Nine and a half years ago I wrote in a journal, let’s create the Willy Wonka of Coffee. I wanted to create this multi-sensory experience with theatre, romance, and drama and have the coffee moving around and create a real roasting manufacturing facility and we have done it. I have talked for a year now about this seismic change of consumer behavior changing and going away from bricks and mortar traditional retail shopping and to ecommerce and mobile. In order to mitigate that, I think it’s incumbent upon the responsibility of retailers to create these fantastic experiences that’s going to sweep them away.”

The Miracle On The HudsonD213a67c 4919 4658 99d2 F32a6570d96b, The DiJulius Group

When US Airways Flight 1549 or “The Miracle on the Hudson” ditched into the Hudson River on January 15, 2009, there was more than one hero on that plane. Dave Sanderson knew he was exactly where he was supposed to be. The last passenger off the back of the plane on that fateful day, he was largely responsible for the well-being and safety of others, risking his own life in frigid water to help other passengers off the plane. Despite the hazard to himself, Sanderson thought only of helping others and emerged from the wreckage with a mission: to encourage others to do the right thing. This fall, the movie Sully starring Tom Hanks, about the Miracle on the Hudson, is coming out.
