Fast Food: Starbucks prüft laut Medienbericht Übernahme von Chipotle
Der aktuelle Stand der Pläne ist noch offen. Dabei ist fraglich, ob eine Übernahme der Fast-Food-Kette durch Starbucks überhaupt umsetzbar wäre.
Starbucks, the US coffeehouse chain, is reportedly considering a takeover of fast-food giant Chipotle according to a media report. The "Financial Times" claims that Starbucks has been working with consultants on a potential acquisition offer for Chipotle. Chipotle, a Tex-Mex chain, has a market value of approximately $39 billion, according to the newspaper, which cites knowledgeable sources.
The current status of the takeover plans and whether Starbucks has already made a formal offer are not known. It is also unlikely that a merger could occur given the complexity of such a consolidation. Such plans would also mean a return of Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol to Chipotle. Niccol had led the company from 2018 to 2024. Chipotle's stock papers rose by around six percent, while Starbucks' stock fell by approximately three percent.
Starbucks declined to comment to the "Financial Times," and Chipotle also did not respond to a request for comment.
