Could Starbucks really buy Chipotle? Restaurant analyst John Tower tells Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi a deal is highly unlikely, but he won’t rule it out, given CEO Brian Niccol’s history at both companies. Tower breaks down where the synergies could come from, including Starbucks’ global reach, why investors are skeptical of multi-brand restaurant companies, and why he expects more consolidation across the industry as US population growth slows. He also explains what’s behind McDonald’s struggles and why he likes its plan to invest in remodeling its restaurants.
