Peets only operated on the US West Coast for many decades. They were selling good coffee back when Howard Schultz was trying to get into roasting, then opened a coffee shop in the Seattle Pike Place market. They cut some kind of non-compete deal but I believe it’s no longer in force.
In California, Graffeo is a better roaster than Peet’s, but they don’t brew coffee. And they only have two retail outlets for their beans.
