The US coffee shop industry includes about 20,000 stores with combined annual revenue of about $10 billion. Major companies include Caribou Coffee, International Coffee & Tea (The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf), Peet's Coffee, and Starbucks. The industry is concentrated: the top 50 companies generate more than 70 percent of sales. Coffee shops are part of the specialty eatery industry, which also includes retail outlets specializing in products such as bagels, donuts, frozen yogurt, and ice cream. COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE Consumer taste and personal income drive demand. The profitability of individual companies depends on the ability to secure prime locations, drive store traffic, and deliver high-quality products. Large companies have advantages in purchasing, finance, and marketing. Small companies can compete effectively by offering specialized products, serving a local market, or providing superior customer service. The industry is labor-intensive: average annual revenue per worker

Surging demand for yogurt, energy bars, nut and seed butters and coffee drinks is sending the specialty food industry to new highs for the second year in a row. U.S. retail and foodservice sales of specialty foods and beverages rose 6.9 percent in 2011, topping $75 billion, according to new research from the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade. "Consumers are making better food a part of their lifestyle," says Ron Tanner, Vice President, Communications and Education, for the NASFT. "They are embracing new foods and flavors and are willing to choose top-quality even while they economize elsewhere." Cheese claims the top spot in spending for specialty foods, with $3.44 billion in retail sales in 2011. The next largest retail sales categories are meats, poultry and seafood; chips, pretzels and snacks; coffee, coffee substitutes and cocoa; and bread and baked goods. Functional beverages are the fastest growing segment, followed by yogurt and kefir.

Shares of online retailer Cafepress Inc jumped as much as 17 percent on their market debut as investors continued to bet on the e-commerce sector. Companies that sell online have seen revenues soar as more and more people turn to the Internet for shopping. People spent a record $37.2 billion buying goods online during the last holiday season, according to online data firm comScore, a number slated to rise.

A preliminary study has found that green coffee beans taken daily can potentially speed up the process of weight loss. The 22-week study carried out on 16 overweight men and women saw that a supplement of green (unroasted) coffee bean, on average, helped the individuals shed 17 pounds. The research presented at the 243rd National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS) by Joe Vinson and colleagues, showed that an ounce of green coffee bean daily resulted in a 10 percent weight loss per day. The participants aged 22-26, alternated between taking capsules of the extract and a placebo over the 22-week period. During this time, their diet and exercise regime was unaltered and they were monitored for their overall calorie and food intake.

Sometimes the latest health news talks about some obscure supplement you've never heard of. Or a health food that has all the appeal of freshly-cut grass. But not this time. Because today, I am talking about a deep, dark elixir that delights people around the world. A potion that provides many Americans with their dose of antioxidants. And caffeine. I'm talking about coffee, of course, the magic bean that wakes you up in the morning and sometimes keeps you up at night. And judging from the impressive amount of research coming out about coffee from around the world, thoughts of this brew are keeping researchers plenty stimulated. From Brazil to Japan and many points in between, coffee is generating excitement for benefits for a wide range of conditions.Here is some freshly ground research on coffee that hit me like a doppio espresso. Coffee can help fight diabetes. The Harvard School of Public Health has been grinding out a series of studies that perked up my attention.
