About Starbucks

Three former University of San Francisco students, history teacher Zev Siegl, English teacher Jerry Baldwin, and writer Gordon Bowker opened up the first Starbucks in Seattle, Washington on March 31, 1971. The first ever Starbucks location was at 2000 Western Avenue from 1971-1976, and then moved to the famed 1912 Pike Place, where it still remains today. There are over 23,700 locations worldwide, with non-US locations accounting for a third of the total Starbucks. The first international location opened in Tokyo in 1996. Between 1987 and 2007, on average, Starbucks opened two new stores a day worldwide. This massive growth is why we can find everywhere, with some locations being on the same block! Starbucks has expanded by purchasing many other coffee suppliers, coffee shops, and cafes. In 1999, Starbucks experimented with a restaurant chain called Circadia in the San Francisco Bay area. Soon, Circadia restaurants closed and in their place Starbucks cafes popped up. Starbucks finalized the purchases of Seattle's Best Coffee and Torrefazione Italia from AFC Enterprises for $72 million in 2003. Although they only acquired 150 physical locations, this purchase had a significant positive impact on their their wholesale business.

What's a coffee or tea without a scrumptious snack to go with it? Go for classic coffeeshop faves like a croissant or bagel and cream cheese, or have a Cake Pop.

For something savory, go for a tomato and mozzarella panini, turkey and havarti sandwich, or chicken artichoke on ancient grain flatbread.
