Seattle's Best Coffee will sell four brewed coffee blends through Subway

Posted by Melissa Allison

Starbucks' Seattle's Best Coffee brand will sell brewed coffee through more than 9,000 Subway shops in the U.S. and 800 in Canada by the end of the years, the company said in a release early this morning elaborating on an agreement with Subway announced by CEO Howard Schultz on Thursday.

The release does not mention espresso drinks like lattes or cappuccinos, but says Subway shops will offer four SBC blends (although probably not all at the same time): Seattle's Best Blend (which the company touts as having a sweet, lively flavor with a smooth finish), Henry's Blend (nutty, hearty blend also used in SBC's espresso beverages) or 6th Avenue Bistro blend (dark, rich and smooth), along with Decaf Seattle's Best Blend. (The "or" is what makes me think they won't all be served at the same time.)

SBC has more than 550 cafes, kiosks and other locations in the U.S. and is sold at more than 6,000 foodservice locations, such as college campuses, restaurants, hotels, airlines and cruise lines. Its store count is included in Starbucks' overall total of 16,635 worldwide at the end of September.

I think the coffee at McDonalds went way downhill once they dropped SBC coffee. It will be interesting to see if Subway can actually keep coffee...  Posted on November 6, 2009 at 3:14 PM by fletc3her. Jump to comment
Seattle's Worst Coffee. No wonder Schultz bought the company.  Posted on November 6, 2009 at 5:00 AM by Dipstick Duck. Jump to comment
