It’s a Bay Area company. They aren’t all over the U.S. According to a map on their website there are 286. Approximately 47.5% are located in the Bay Area.
Peets only operated on the US West Coast for many decades. They were selling good coffee back when Howard Schultz was trying to get into roasting, then opened a coffee shop in the Seattle Pike Place market. They cut some kind of non-compete deal but I believe it’s no longer in force.
In California, Graffeo is a better roaster than Peet’s, but they don’t brew coffee. And they only have two retail outlets for their beans.
I’ve never seen a Pete’s coffee shop, I thought it was just a supermarket brand.
They have physical locations too. I’m on the east coast so they’re not as popular here. Major city though.
Used to have like 6 locations but they’re down to 2 now that I know of in my state.
You can also just aim for local shops instead of chains.

Gotham?
Ohh… Way less cool
Look Starbucks owes Peet’s everything. That company started off buying from Peet’s.
