OUR COMPANY


OUR HERITAGE

Our story begins in 1971 along the cobblestone streets of Seattle’s historic
Pike Place Market. It was here where Starbucks opened its first store, offering
fresh-roasted coffee beans, tea and spices from around the world for our
customers to take home. Our name was inspired by the classic tale, “Moby-Dick,”
evoking the seafaring tradition of the early coffee traders.

Ten years later, a young New Yorker named Howard Schultz would walk through
these doors and become captivated with Starbucks coffee from his first sip.
After joining the company in 1982, a different cobblestone road would lead him
to another discovery. It was on a trip to Milan in 1983 that Howard first
experienced Italy’s coffeehouses, and he returned to Seattle inspired to bring
the warmth and artistry of its coffee culture to Starbucks. By 1987, we swapped
our brown aprons for green ones and embarked on our next chapter as a
coffeehouse.

Starbucks would soon expand to Chicago and Vancouver, Canada and then on to
California, Washington, D.C. and New York. By 1996, we would cross the Pacific
to open our first store in Japan, followed by Europe in 1998 and China in 1999.
Over the next two decades, we would grow to welcome millions of customers each
week and become a part of the fabric of tens of thousands of neighborhoods all
around the world. In everything we do, we are always dedicated to Our Mission:
With every cup, with every conversation, with every community - we nurture the
limitless possibilities of human connection.


COFFEE & CRAFT

It takes many hands to craft the perfect cup of coffee – from the farmers who
tend to the red-ripe coffee cherries, to the master roasters who coax the best
from every bean, and to the barista who serves it with care. We are committed to
the highest standards of quality and service, embracing our heritage while
innovating to create new experiences to savor.

the heart of the Starbucks experience. We are committed to making our partners
proud and investing in their health, well-being and success and to creating a
culture of belonging where everyone is welcome.
