JAB Holding Co., the owner of Caribou Coffee and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, said on Wednesday it would buy Sunset Hills [MO}-based Panera Bread Co. in a deal valued at about $7.5 billion, including debt, as it expands its coffee and breakfast empire.I give them five years before those vulture capitalists do what they do: Layer on a lot of debt to draw money out of the company, then run it into the ground and go into Chapter 11 --> 7 bankruptcy.
It's what they do. The only people to get hurt will be fifty thousand or so employees. Whom none of the vultures will care about.
heh... all legal, just smart business... we are so fk'd
