Starbucks was founded in 1971 by three partners in Seattle's renowned open-air
Pike Place Market and was named after the first mate in
Herman Melville's Moby Dick. Howard Schultz joined starbucks in 1982 as
director of retail operations and marketing. Returning from a trip to Milan, Italy,
with its1,500 coffee bars,
Schultz recognized an opportunity to develop a similar retail coffee-bar culture in
Seattle.
In 1985 the company tested the first downtown Seattle coffeehouse served the
first Starbucks cafe latte, and introduced its Christmas Blend. Since then,
Starbucks has been expanding across the United States and around the world,
now operating nearly 17,000 stores in 55 countries. Historically, Starbucks has
grown at a rate of about three stores a day, although the company has cut
back on expansion in recent years. The copany nevertheless serves millions of
customers a week and has revenues of approximately $11 billion a year. It has
become the third largest chain restaurant in the United States.
