That has been the case with Evolution Fresh bottled juices, which to date have replaced PepsiCo's Naked Juices in about 4,500 of the more than 13,000 Starbucks cafes in the U.S. Another of the company's other recent acquisitions, a small Bay Area bakery chain called La Boulange, is being used to replace the baked goods Starbucks offers. And last month, the Seattle-based chain said it was teaming up with Danone to start making Greek yogurt cups that will be sold in its cafes before rolling out to supermarkets. For now, Starbucks still gets the vast majority of its revenue from its more than 19,000 cafes worldwide. But the company is working to increase sales from its packaged goods division.
