Leading, ultra gourmet coffee bean provider and retailer. For the real coffee devotee... likely acquisition for major CPG beverage concern

Expanding in its home market, has plans to open many more diverse locations.

Peets is going into the Holiday Season with no visible change at it's stores. They haven't quite gotten the merchandising thing together yet, and strong holiday sales that will push the S&P up going into Q107 will leave Peets behind

Peet's coffee entered the market before Starbuck's, but failed to capitalize on it. They have begun to do so, and although there have been fits and starts, the leadership looks strong and committed, and the products stand out.

As a "buy what you know" I drink enough of there coffee a month to purchase several shares. At the current valuation will probably match the return of the S&P 500. The current dip may be an entry point for the longer term.

I think they have a solid product - a conservative growth plan at a steady pace - I like this company

A lot of short-term growth potential, but in the end, Starbucks will win.

This is a very good company; one of its strengths is its focus on quality over growth rate. But that means its growth cannot support a 35 multiple, let alone the 45 multiple you get if you adjust last year's earnings for stock-based compensation.

I love their products, but they are slow to expand. It may take awhile for them to beat the market.

Small version of starbucks, will grow faster in a fast growing market

With Starbucks picking up Coffee People outlets, the competitive landscape is further reduced. Peet has pretty good financials and a good product.

Peet's is careful about its expansion, limiting new stores so that quality of product and service can be tightly controlled and using mail order to serve customers in non-retail areas. Peet's also maintains good traffic & turnover in stores by limiting seating and not providing wireless access, yet the stores are always bustling. Amazing coffee and service, combined with prudent expansion, make this a winner longterm.
