Overview

Starbucks is an American multinational coffeehouse brand and operating company headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Founded in 1971 by Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl, and Gordon Bowker, the business began as a retailer of roasted coffee beans, brewing equipment, and related products rather than as the beverage-led café chain it is known as today. Its first store opened in Seattle, and the founders drew on the specialty-coffee traditions associated with Alfred Peet and Peet's Coffee. The name Starbucks was inspired in part by the character Starbuck in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, while the company's visual identity developed around a stylized siren. A decisive transformation occurred in the 1980s. Howard Schultz joined Starbucks and promoted the Italian espresso-bar model, emphasizing freshly prepared drinks, social interaction, and a distinctive store environment. After acquiring the company in 1987, Schultz converted his Il Giornale coffee outlets to the Starbucks name and expanded the business beyond Seattle. The company opened stores in Vancouver and Chicago that year, then built a broader network through company-operated and licensed locations. This shift helped make Starbucks a major force in the development of the modern specialty-coffee and 'second-wave' coffeehouse market. Starbucks' business now spans retail coffeehouses, drive-through and pickup formats, licensed stores, packaged coffee, ready-to-drink products, and loyalty and payment services. Menus typically include espresso-based drinks, brewed coffee, cold brew, blended Frappuccino beverages, teas, refreshers, juices, pastries, breakfast products, sandwiches, snacks, and whole-bean or ground coffee. Offerings vary by country and season, and customization of milk, syrups, temperatures, sizes, and toppings is an important part of the customer proposition. The company also operates higher-end Roastery and Reserve concepts in selected markets. The brand's growth has relied on a combination of dense store networks, recognizable design, beverage innovation, seasonal launches, customer loyalty, and digital ordering. Starbucks Rewards, mobile ordering, stored-value cards, and app-based payment have connected the physical store network with a large digital ecosystem. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company accelerated drive-through, delivery, curbside, and mobile-pickup formats, moving some locations away from the traditional sit-down coffeehouse model. Starbucks has also faced labor, legal, racial-bias, market-performance, and political controversies. Its response to the 2018 Philadelphia arrests included an apology from CEO Kevin Johnson and the temporary closure of approximately 8,000 U.S. stores for racial-bias training. The company later experienced leadership changes, including the replacement of Laxman Narasimhan by Brian Niccol in 2024. In 2025, Starbucks ended its general open-door seating and restroom policy and required customers to make a purchase to use those areas; it also announced a substantial menu simplification. Starbucks remains one of the world's largest coffeehouse chains, with a mix of company-operated and licensed stores across international markets.

History

Starbucks opened its first store in Seattle on March 30, 1971. Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl, and Gordon Bowker founded the business after becoming interested in high-quality coffee beans and equipment through the influence of Alfred Peet. The original operation was a coffee-bean retailer, and its early stores did not primarily serve espresso beverages. The first location operated on Western Avenue before moving to Pike Place Market, where the company established a lasting association with Seattle's historic public market. During the 1970s, Starbucks developed roasting and sourcing capabilities. Peet's Coffee initially supplied green coffee beans, and Alfred Peet helped train Starbucks' early roastmaster after that relationship ended. In 1984, Starbucks' original owners acquired Peet's Coffee. By the middle of the decade, Starbucks had several Seattle stores and had begun selling espresso drinks. Howard Schultz joined Starbucks in the 1980s after observing Italian café culture. He advocated transforming Starbucks into a place where customers could buy handcrafted espresso drinks and spend time in a communal setting. In 1987, Schultz acquired the Starbucks business and incorporated the existing chain into his Il Giornale operation. The company soon opened outside Seattle, including locations in Vancouver and Chicago. Expansion across the Pacific Northwest, Midwest, and later the rest of the United States established the model that became the modern Starbucks chain. Starbucks went public in June 1992. Its expansion accelerated during the 1990s, supported by company-operated stores, licensing arrangements, acquisitions, and new beverage categories. The 1994 acquisition of The Coffee Connection gave Starbucks rights connected with the Frappuccino concept, which became a major branded product after its Starbucks launch in 1995. The company also acquired Pasqua Coffee in 1999 and expanded its retail and food capabilities. In the 2000s, Starbucks broadened its portfolio through the acquisition of Seattle's Best Coffee and Torrefazione Italia in 2003 and most company-owned Diedrich Coffee and Coffee People stores in 2006. It experimented with customer feedback through My Starbucks Idea, acquired the manufacturer of the Clover brewing system, and continued developing premium brewing formats. Rapid expansion eventually exposed weaknesses during the Great Recession. In 2008 and 2009, Starbucks closed many underperforming stores, reduced planned U.S. growth, and eliminated thousands of positions. The retrenchment was accompanied by renewed attention to product quality, store standards, and the customer experience. During the 2010s, Starbucks became increasingly connected to mobile technology and loyalty services. It introduced U.S. menu calorie labeling, expanded app-based payment and ordering, and used social platforms for promotions such as Tweet-a-Coffee. The company continued international growth, acquired full ownership of its China joint venture in 2017, and explored technology for tracing coffee from farms to consumers. It also adjusted store design toward more locally relevant formats rather than imposing one uniform design worldwide. The company faced major controversy in 2018 after two Black men were arrested at a Philadelphia store while waiting for a meeting. The incident prompted protests and an apology from CEO Kevin Johnson. Starbucks closed approximately 8,000 U.S. stores for racial-bias training and announced additional measures intended to prevent similar incidents. Other controversies and legal disputes have involved labor relations, discrimination claims, business practices, and the company's social and political positioning. The COVID-19 pandemic forced Starbucks to close café-only stores temporarily in the United States while emphasizing drive-through and delivery service. The company subsequently accelerated mobile pickup, curbside collection, delivery, and convenience-led store formats. It announced plans to close hundreds of locations in the United States and Canada while adding or redesigning stores oriented toward pickup and drive-through transactions. In the 2020s, Starbucks continued to manage international restructuring and leadership changes. It exited Russia in 2022, with the former stores later operating under a different name. Laxman Narasimhan became CEO in 2023 but was replaced by Brian Niccol in 2024. The company also faced the bankruptcy of its Brazilian operating partner, SouthRock Capital. In 2025, Starbucks ended its open-door policy for seating and restrooms and announced a substantial menu reduction intended to make store operations simpler. Its continuing business combines a large physical network with licensed operations, packaged products, premium concepts, and digital loyalty services.

Products and positioning

A scaled specialty-coffee brand positioned around handcrafted beverages, store experience, customization, convenience, seasonal innovation, and digital loyalty.

Coffee beverages
Espresso beverages
Handcrafted drinks built around espresso, including lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, macchiatos, and seasonal variations. Customers can generally customize size, milk, flavoring, temperature, and toppings. Espresso beverages became central to Starbucks after the company moved from roasted-bean retail toward the Italian-inspired coffeehouse model in the 1980s.
Coffee beverages · 1971
Brewed coffee
Drip-brewed and other brewed coffees served hot or, in selected formats, chilled. This line connects the current café business with Starbucks' original identity as a seller and roaster of whole coffee beans. It includes regularly offered coffees as well as rotating blends, single-origin coffees, and premium brewing selections.
Blended cold beverages · 1995
Frappuccino
A Starbucks signature blended beverage family made with ice and coffee or non-coffee flavor bases. Frappuccino drinks are commonly finished with whipped cream, sauces, syrups, or other toppings and are frequently used for seasonal and limited-time innovation. Starbucks obtained rights connected with the concept through its 1994 acquisition of The Coffee Connection and launched the Starbucks version in 1995.
Cold coffee beverages
Cold brew
Coffee prepared through extended contact with cold water and served chilled, often over ice and sometimes with milk, foam, or flavored additions. Cold brew is part of Starbucks' broader effort to grow cold beverage occasions and provide alternatives to hot brewed coffee and espresso drinks.
Tea beverages
Tea beverages
A range of hot teas, iced teas, tea lattes, and tea-based mixed beverages. Tea broadens Starbucks' offer beyond coffee and allows regional adaptation through different tea traditions, flavor profiles, and preparation styles.
Non-coffee beverages
Refreshers and cold drinks
Fruit-forward refreshment beverages, juices, and other cold drinks aimed at customers seeking alternatives to coffee. These products support Starbucks' emphasis on cold beverages, afternoon consumption, seasonal launches, and customization.
Food
Food and bakery
Pastries, breakfast items, sandwiches, snacks, and other portable foods sold for pairing with beverages or as light meals. The food assortment varies by market and store format, with local and seasonal products used to increase the range of customer occasions.
Packaged coffee · 1971
Whole-bean and packaged coffee
Whole-bean, ground, instant, and other packaged coffee products extend the Starbucks brand beyond its cafés. These products support at-home preparation and are distributed through Starbucks stores, licensed channels, and consumer packaged-goods arrangements.
Premium coffee retail
Starbucks Reserve and Roastery
Premium retail and experiential concepts featuring higher-end coffees, specialty preparation methods, distinctive store environments, and expanded food or beverage programs. Roasteries function as large-format brand showcases, while Reserve products and stores emphasize rarity, craft, and coffee education.

Proposed class-action lawsuit filed against Starbucks over 'sugar-free' protein drinks
In October 2026, a proposed class-action lawsuit was filed in federal court in Washington state against Starbucks by three consumers who purchased drinks in California, New York and Washington. The suit alleges that Starbucks' "sugar-free" protein beverages contain between 13 and 21 grams of sugar per venti-sized serving, and that no reasonable consumer would expect a drink labeled "sugar-free" to contain that amount. It targets eight hot and iced protein beverages, including the Sugar-Free Vanilla Protein Latte, Sugar-Free Caramel Protein Latte and protein matcha drinks, and seeks to stop Starbucks from using "sugar-free" on products containing sugar. Starbucks disputes the allegations, saying the claims have no merit, that it has consistently provided nutrition information, and that the sugar comes naturally from protein-boosted milk while sugar-free syrups are used for flavoring.
