PJ’S, the Local Coffee to Compete with Starbuck

Black coffee

Starbuck coffee known as one of American symbols, has 28,218 coffee houses worldwide, even no corner without Starbucks in the USA. More than 2 thousand stores are opened each year which contribute to sales and share prices increasing in recent years. 

Since coffee is one of promising business, many states create their own brand to compete with Starbuck. We easily find grounded coffee beans as a gift or a souvenirs in tourist destination areas across America.

Cappuccino and regular coffee 

I stop by in one of coffee houses when I visited New Orleans, Louisiana last week. The PJ’s is a local coffee shop, founded by Phyllis Jordan (PJ’s) in Carrollton neighborhood, New Orleans in 1978. Since then PJ’S expanded its business to 150 locations across USA.

PJ’S plans to open new 100 franchise in several countries include Vietnam, Kuwait and Malaysia. Coffee business is booming in the South East Asia countries. Now, they have many choices in addition to Starbuck coffee.

PJ’s seems to compete with Starbuck in term of product variations, room convenient and even open hours. Surprisingly, the shop opens very early morning at 5.00 AM weekdays. Hopefully, the competition would bring up quality, variation of drink products and down the price.

  1. We have no Starbuck here but other brands. Anyway, coffee's loved everywhere in the world. I myself am a great coffee lover.
    It seems PJ coffee houses are quite successful and expanding. Well, competition is good.

  5. Here, In Japan, many Starbuck coffee shops are existing.
    That's fine!
    But, my more favorite one is another...
    I love 'Hawaiian Kona (Blend)'!!!

  14. I love coffee, and though Starbucks is good, for me it has a harsh strong flavor. There was a little coffee house in the neighboring town that had their own brewed coffee........it was so delicious! As soon as Starbucks moved in, they closed. I really miss them and their better tasting coffee

  30. How wonderful that you went to New Orleans! The girls went years ago, and loved everything about it - their traditions, the people, the food. I've never heard of this coffee house yet, it sounds good. I like the fact that it opens at 5:00 am on weekdays. Starbucks is my favorite, and I haven't really found a coffee that I like better. What would we do without our coffee, my friend?

  40. Interesting post. I enjoy our local Starbucks as it is so convenient. They seem to be everywhere but I enjoy popping in on my way back from a trip out. I also found another coffee shop yesterday, a place I don't go in very often as it is further away and in a shopping area I don't go to very often. It is called Peet's Coffee.

  43. PJs did open here in Kuwait. We also have a Starbucks on every corner here. Definitely not great for the environment when all they want to do is serve their drinks in throwaway cups. I only ever order coffee in a mug and if I can't, then I don't get anything at all.
