Sad news for fans of Caribou Coffee. The brand announced that they would be closing 80 locations this month. Another 88 stores in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Illinois and Eastern Wisconsin will be converted to Peet’s Coffee & Tea locations over the next 12 to 18 months. In a statement, the company said, “While the decisions we’ve made have been difficult for our team in Minneapolis, as well as our team members across the country and our guests and fans everywhere, we are working to make this transition as seamless as possible for the Caribou community. We look forward to continuing to deliver extraordinary experiences to our guests and fans, and thank everyone for their passion and commitment to Caribou.”

The Many Benefits of Magnesium
As many as 75% of Americans don’t meet the USDA’s recommended daily magnesium intake of 420mg. This is a problem, as magnesium, once thought to be involved in 300 of the body’s biochemical processes, is actually involved in over 600 magnesium-dependent enzymatic processes–that’s a big chunk of the body’s cellular reactions. Magnesium is an essential nutrient and electrolyte, yet we just aren’t getting enough. That’s where magnesium-rich foods and supplements come in.
