It’s a place in which I’m able to plug in my laptop, spark a conversation, and most importantly, order my favorite cup of coffee. I’m referring to Caribou Coffee, a college student’s temporary home away from home. Caribou Coffee allows for students, one of the many consumer markets Caribou targets, to engage in healthy conversation over a space that subtly showcases material elements. “While everyday spaces like coffee shops are filled with symbolic visual and material elements, these elements are less obviously symbolic than those that make up a memorial or a museum” (Dickinson). As shown through previous years, coffee shops such as Caribou, have risen to popularity.
