Shares of Starbucks are gaining steam after the Associated Press’s Ashley Heher reports Burger King executives said they’ll add Starbucks coffee to the menu to rival McDonalds.

The Starbucks brew will replace Burger King’s “BK Joe” brand, introduced five years ago, Heher reports. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Heher notes that Seattle’s Starbucks has been looking to promote its lesser known “Seattle’s Best” brand. The company signed Subway stores to carry the coffee last fall.
