Does it matter who owns a brand?

Personally I like Starbucks (yes guilty of tax evasion as many companies are guilty of but not named and shamed like Starbucks was) and caffe nero, but after all it remains solely a coffee trader. Costa has grown and killed off most independents! Why? Because they are everywhere including express outlets here there and everywhere, yet people forget they are owned by Whitbread Beefeater, Brewers Fayre Table Table and Taybarns. I have more interest in companies sticking to their core product. Please Tesco keep to food because you're killing off the high street. Although I rather see these coffee shops within Tesco ONLY and to keep Costa to the high street.
