The cafe chain had a broader mission than selling coffee, which may have been a mistake.

Jeni Britton, founder of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams and now Founder and CEO of Floura, discussed her shift from ice cream to fiber-based snacks made from produce trim like apple cores, watermelon rinds, mango and pineapple rinds. Britton highlighted Starbucks as an important validation point for the young company, saying the placement gives Floura higher visibility and credibility as it expands beyond its direct-to-consumer roots.

Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) trades at about 28.4 times its trailing adjusted earnings, the basis that adds stock-based compensation back to normalized net income. That is a steep price for a chain whose existing restaurants are guided to low single-digit sales growth for 2026. On what analysts expect Chipotle to earn by 2027, the same price is about 24.1 times. Those forward multiples sit on analyst-consensus earnings, which are not defined the same way as the trailing adjusted figure, so part
