Starbucks Corporation is a big American company that has coffee shops all over the world. It started in 1971 in Seattle, Washington. At first, it only sold coffee beans. Later, under the leadership of Howard Schultz, it became a coffee shop selling drinks like espresso.
Starbucks grew quickly, especially across the western United States. By November 2022, it had over 35,000 stores in 80 countries. It is now the largest coffee shop chain in the world. Starbucks is known for offering many different coffee experiences. They serve hot and cold drinks, whole coffee beans, teas, juices, and snacks. Many locations also offer free Wi-Fi.

History of Starbucks
Starbucks first opened its doors in Seattle, Washington, on March 30, 1971. For its first ten years, it was a local shop selling high-quality coffee beans and equipment. It was founded by three friends: Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl, and Gordon Bowker. They were inspired by another coffee expert, Alfred Peet. The name "Starbucks" came from a character in the book Moby-Dick.
The very first Starbucks store was on Western Avenue in Seattle. It later moved to Pike Place. In these early years, Starbucks only sold coffee beans, not ready-to-drink coffee.
Growth in the 1980s
In 1984, the original owners bought another coffee company called Peet's Coffee. By 1986, Starbucks had six stores in Seattle and started selling espresso coffee.
In 1987, the founders sold Starbucks to Howard Schultz, who had been their marketing director. Schultz changed his own coffee shops to Starbucks and began to expand the company. That same year, Starbucks opened its first stores outside Seattle, in Vancouver, Canada, and in Chicago.
By 1989, there were 46 Starbucks stores across the Pacific Northwest and Midwest. The company was roasting a lot of coffee each year.
Expansion in the 1990s
In June 1992, Starbucks became a public company, meaning its shares could be bought and sold on the stock market. At this time, it had 140 stores and was making a lot of money. Selling shares helped the company open even more stores.
In 1994, Starbucks bought The Coffee Connection. This deal gave them the rights to a popular drink called "Frappuccino". Starbucks started selling the Frappuccino in 1995.
Towards the end of the 1990s, Starbucks tried opening restaurants called Circadia in the San Francisco Bay Area. They also bought another coffee chain called Pasqua Coffee.
The 21st Century
Early 2000s
In April 2003, Starbucks bought Seattle's Best Coffee and Torrefazione Italia. This added more stores and a significant wholesale business to Starbucks.
By June 2003, Starbucks Japan had many stores and planned to open even more. They also started adding ovens to their stores to offer better food.
In September 2006, Starbucks bought most of Diedrich Coffee's stores, including Coffee People locations. Starbucks changed these stores into Starbucks locations.
In early 2008, Starbucks launched a website called My Starbucks Idea. This website allowed customers to share their suggestions and ideas for the company.
In July 2008, during a tough economic time, Starbucks announced it would close 600 stores that were not doing well. They also cut many non-store jobs. In Australia, Starbucks closed 61 of its 84 stores because the company did not fully understand Australia's coffee culture.
In January 2009, Starbucks announced more store closures and job cuts. From 2008 to 2009, Starbucks closed many stores and reduced its workforce worldwide.
2010s Growth and Changes
By 2012, Starbucks was selling over US$2 billion worth of Frappuccinos each year. In August 2012, the largest Starbucks in the U.S. opened at the University of Alabama.
In June 2013, Starbucks started showing calorie counts on its menus in all U.S. stores. By July 2013, many customers were using the Starbucks app to pay for their purchases.
In October 2013, Starbucks launched a "Tweet-a-Coffee" promotion with Twitter. Customers could buy a US$5 gift card for a friend by sending a tweet.
In May 2014, Starbucks sold its remaining stores in Australia to a local group after facing ongoing losses there.
In July 2017, Starbucks took full ownership of its business in China, buying out its partners for US$1.3 billion.
In March 2018, Starbucks explored using blockchain technology to track coffee from farms to cups. This would help connect coffee drinkers with farmers.
In May 2018, Starbucks closed about 8,000 U.S. locations for a special training session about racial bias. This was to help prevent future incidents and ensure everyone felt welcome.
In June 2018, Starbucks announced it would close 150 stores in 2019, especially in cities where there were many Starbucks stores close together.
In July 2019, Starbucks stopped selling newspapers and removed grab-and-go snack kiosks from its cafés. In November 2019, Starbucks opened its largest store ever in Chicago.
2020s and Recent Events
In March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Starbucks closed all its café-only stores in the U.S. for two weeks. Only drive-thru and delivery services continued. All workers were paid during this time. The pandemic caused a decrease in sales, especially in China.
In June 2020, Starbucks announced it would close 400 stores in the U.S. and Canada over the next 18 months. They planned to open 300 new stores focused on carryout and pickup orders, often working with the Starbucks mobile app.
In December 2020, Starbucks announced plans to increase its store count to about 55,000 by 2030.
In August 2022, Starbucks sold all its stores in Russia to a Russian rapper. The stores were renamed "Stars Coffee" and looked very similar to the old Starbucks.
On October 1, 2022, Laxman Narasimhan became Starbucks's new CEO. He even trained as a barista and planned to work half a day behind a store counter each month to stay connected to the brand and customers.
In August 2024, Brian Niccol became the new CEO of Starbucks, taking over from Laxman Narasimhan. Niccol had previously been the CEO of Chipotle Mexican Grill.
In January 2025, Starbucks changed its "open-door policy." Now, customers need to buy something to use the restrooms and seating areas. In February 2025, Starbucks cut 30% of its menu to simplify operations and reduce costs. This included less popular items like some Frappuccino drinks.
In July 2025, Starbucks announced that corporate office employees would need to work in the office four days a week starting in October.
American Unionization Efforts
In August 2021, workers at three Starbucks stores in Buffalo, New York, started an effort to form a union called Starbucks Workers United. More stores joined this effort. Starbucks sent managers and executives to Buffalo to talk with employees.
On December 9, 2021, workers at the Elmwood Avenue store in Buffalo became the first unionized Starbucks workers at a company-owned location in the United States. This inspired workers at other locations to also seek to unionize.
By August 2022, unions were certified at 211 Starbucks locations in the U.S. On November 17, 2022, which is "Red Cup Day" and a very busy day for Starbucks, employees at over 100 locations went on strike. They were asking for more staff, better pay, and more consistent work schedules.
Most union efforts are led by Starbucks Workers United (SBWU). While there are over 9,000 American locations, less than 3% have voted to unionize since the first unionized store in 2021. SBWU and Starbucks are still working to agree on a contract.
On June 23, 2023, workers at unionized Starbucks stores went on strike. They were protesting the company's rules about LGBT pride decorations in stores.

Each year, usually from November to January, Starbucks releases new holiday-themed paper cups with different festive designs.
Oleato Coffee
In February 2023, Starbucks introduced a new line of coffee drinks made with extra virgin olive oil. These included lattes and cold brews. The idea came from former CEO Howard Schultz, who was inspired by the habit of consuming olive oil daily. These drinks were first available in Italy and then expanded to other countries. However, the Oleato beverages were permanently stopped in November 2024.
Starbucks Card and Loyalty Program
In May 2008, Starbucks launched a loyalty program for people who registered their Starbucks Card. This program offered benefits like free Wi-Fi and free refills on certain drinks. Customers earn "stars" with each purchase, which can be used for free drinks or other perks.

Starbucks Logo
-
1971–1987
-
1987–1992
-
1992–2011
-
2011–present
The Starbucks logo features a "twin-tailed mermaid," also known as a siren from Greek mythology. The logo has changed over the years. The first version, used from 1971 to 1987, showed the siren more fully. The second logo (1987–1992) covered her with hair and changed the color to green. The third version (1992–2011) showed even less of the siren's body.
In September 2006 and early 2008, Starbucks temporarily brought back its original brown logo on hot-drink cups to celebrate its history. In January 2011, Starbucks made small changes to the logo, removing the words "Starbucks Coffee" and making the siren image larger and green.
Environmental and Social Efforts
Starbucks works on being a responsible company in terms of the environment and society.
Environmental Practices
In 1999, Starbucks started the "Grounds for your Garden" program. This program gives leftover coffee grounds to customers for composting in their gardens. This helps the company be more environmentally friendly.
In 2009, Starbucks changed how it used water in its stores to save water. They replaced constantly running taps with push-button faucets for rinsing tools. This saves a lot of water each day.
In January 2020, Starbucks announced a new goal to become "resource positive" by 2030. This means they aim to reduce their carbon emissions, waste, and water use by 50%. They also plan to offer more plant-based menu options and use reusable packaging.
Recycling Efforts
In 2006, Starbucks started using 10% recycled paper in its cups. They also give customers a discount if they bring their own reusable cup. Starbucks has been working to make its cups more recyclable and to have recycling bins in its stores.
Plastic Straw Ban
On July 9, 2018, Starbucks announced it would stop using single-use plastic straws by January 1, 2020. This was due to concerns about climate change and pollution. Frappuccinos now use straws made from sustainable materials like paper, and other cold drinks use straw-less lids. Many Starbucks locations around the world have already stopped using plastic straws.
Reusable Cups
Starbucks is committed to reducing waste. In April 2013, they introduced reusable cups, offering a discount to customers who brought them in. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they temporarily stopped using personal cups but brought them back in June 2021 with a new, safer method. Starbucks plans to stop using disposable cups entirely in Korea by 2025.
Farmer Equity Practices
Starbucks has a program called Coffee and Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.) Practices. This program helps ensure that coffee is grown and processed in a responsible way. Farmers who meet high standards in areas like fair pay for workers and environmental care receive better prices for their coffee. Starbucks aims to buy all its coffee through this program or other ethical certification systems.
Food Bank Donations
Since 2010, Starbucks has been donating leftover pastries in the United States to local food banks. In March 2016, Starbucks announced a plan to donate all unsold food from its U.S. stores to food banks. This program, called FoodShare, aims to provide millions of meals to people in need. By September 2019, 60% of Starbucks stores were participating in FoodShare.
Cage-Free Eggs
In 2008, Starbucks announced a policy to improve animal welfare, including banning the caging of hens. In 2015, Starbucks publicly stated they would switch to 100% cage-free eggs by 2020 for company-owned locations. They aim for all their products to meet high quality and ethical standards, with animal welfare as a main focus.
Partnerships
Starbucks has partnered with many other companies.
Aeroplan
In Canada, Starbucks works with Aeroplan to give Aeroplan points to customers who link their accounts.
Apple Inc.
Starbucks partnered with Apple Inc. to sell music. In October 2006, Apple added a Starbucks Entertainment area to the iTunes Store. In September 2007, Apple allowed customers to browse the iTunes Store at Starbucks using Wi-Fi.
MSNBC
From June 2009 to August 2013, the MSNBC morning news show Morning Joe was presented as "brewed by Starbucks," and the show's logo included the Starbucks logo.
PepsiCo
In 2015, Starbucks made a deal with PepsiCo to sell and distribute Starbucks products in several Latin American countries.
Spotify
In May 2015, Starbucks partnered with the music streaming service Spotify. Starbucks employees in the U.S. received a Spotify premium subscription. This partnership also helped influence the music played in Starbucks stores.
Disney
In June 2015, a Starbucks opened at Disney's Animal Kingdom. This location uses special eco-friendly straws because of the animals in the park. Starbucks has several locations in Walt Disney World and Disneyland parks and shopping areas.
Uber Eats
In December 2018, Starbucks expanded its partnership with Uber Eats to deliver its drinks to customers' homes in the U.S.
