About Starbucks

Starbucks Corporation operates and licenses tens of thousands of coffeehouses worldwide from its Seattle headquarters. The original store opened at Pike Place Market in 1971; Howard Schultz built the modern company after acquiring it in 1987.

Starbucks sets benchmarks — in mobile ordering, loyalty programs, and store economics — that independent coffee shops and food-service franchises measure themselves against.
