Mark's quotation brings up a point... what did her shop look like? Were her signs and such similar to Starbucks? I would think that if she were trying to imitate the 'look and feel' of a Starbucks, it would have added fuel to the legal fire.

Does anyone know??

Well, since this is what everyone thinks, here is the quote from the movie itself!:

Look... me and the McDonald's people got this little misunderstanding. See, they're McDonald's... I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.

Reminds me of the movie "Coming to America" - McDonald's vs. MacDowells!
