JAB, a German company that now owns both Peet's and Intelligentsia, has been focusing on sales of cold-brewed coffee, which it sells in supermarkets and convenience stores. According to an article in Street Journal, "Makng and distributing cold-brewed coffee, in particular, is challenging and expensive because it requires a lot of coffee beans to extract the flavor."
Source: Zeke Turner and Julie Jargon, "The Secretive Company That Pours America's Coffee," Wall Street Journal, March 7,2018.
If cold-brew coffee is more costly for JAB to produce than is conventional ground coffee or hot coffee sold in coffeehouses (JAB sells those types of coffee as well), why would JAB focus on it?
A. JAB isn't worried about making a profit-it is a company that is passionate about cold-brew coffee.
B. JAB is following a strategy of differentiating its product from those offered by competing firms.
C. JAB is hoping to entice more firms to sell cold-brewed coffee to increase its popularity.
D. All of the above.
Ten years from now, JAB's economic profit from selling cold-brewed coffee would be higher than it is today.
