Starbucks Expansion to Reach Bulgaria, Portugal

Starbucks StockOn Wednesday Starbucks (SYMBOL: SBUX) announced that it plans to expand its European operations in 2008.

Currently, two stores are planned. Sofia will be the base for the Bulgarian store and Lisbon will be home for the Portuguese store.

Starbucks didn’t announce opening dates, but this may be the first of many as the company looked to extend its leverage overseas.

The news comes as Starbucks’ stock at least temporarily halted its freefall. Three months ago the stock was near $30. This week it neared $20.

ABOUT FINANCIAL REBEL

My name is Jason Martin and this is my investment blog. Back in Jr. High School I fell in love with an electrical wiring company's stock on Wall Street. After following the stock daily in the papers—the Internet wasn't around back then—I sent them a letter and they sent me back all sorts of wonderful information about their company.

In High School, we had a stock market contest. All the kids were picking companies that made stuff they consumed. When I announced my beloved company, I was laughed at. Little did they know that my company was going to be the subject of a takeover soon.

Long story short, I won the contest and have made money in the stock market, through real estate investing and so forth. If you're looking for someone to tell you how to buy and hold $300 stocks for an eternity or someone who will pump up garbage micro-cent stocks, I'm not your man.

I hope you enjoy Financial Rebel. If you do, please leave your comments and share this site with those you know.
