Starbucks now selling USA Today, ending exclusive with NYT

Ever noticed that the only national newspaper sold at most Starbucks is The New York Times ? That’s because in 2000 The Times made an exclusive deal with Starbucks. But no more — Starbucks will now sell USA Today , too. (None of this affects nonlicensed — or non-company-owned — Starbucks, the ones mostly found in airports and malls. They were exempted from The Times deal.)
