>Unlike any other community coffee house, this one made almost $10b in profit last year. I wonder how much the "community" really benefits from this
That's around $60k per store. That sounds like a very reasonable number for an absentee coffee shop owner (which is basically what the shareholders are).
The word "profit" means that this is the money which is by definition not going to the store. Any money which goes to the store is not counted into profits.
