 Americans love their cups of coffee.  

 After a fun Memorial Day weekend filled with good company, food and beverages, it feels like summer has officially begun.  

 With non-traditional grocery channels ramping up their food and beverage selections, traditional formats such as supermarkets are turning their attention to price gaps and promotions to help level the playing field, analysts report.
