Find a salon To log in COFFEE MENU COFFEE LOUNGE MENU ABOUT E-SHOP To close Our history Every day we will work with two goals in mind: to share quality coffee with our friends and to help make the world a little better. This was true when the first Starbucks opened in 1971 and it is just as true today. By 1971, the company was limited to a single Seattle coffee shop in the historic Pike Place Market. From this tiny coffeehouse, Starbucks offered some of the best coffee in the world, freshly roasted from whole beans. The name Starbucks, taken from the novel Moby Dick, evokes a legendary high seas and the maritime tradition of the early coffee traders. In 1981, Howard Schultz (Chairman and CEO of Starbucks) entered a Starbucks salon for the first time and from his first cup of “Sumatra”, he immediately felt attracted to Starbucks, which he joined a year later. In 1983, during a trip to Italy, Howard Schultz fell under the spell of Italian espresso bars and their ritual around coffee. He then had the idea of transposing to the United States the tradition of Italian cafes, places of conversation and exchange, a third place in a way halfway between home and work. He left Starbucks briefly to found his own chain of coffee shops "Il Giornale", and returned in August 1987, when he bought Starbucks with the help of several local investors. From the start, Starbucks chose to be a different company that not only celebrated coffee and its rich tradition, but also fostered human relationships. Our mission to inspire and enrich the mind through meetings, coffee after coffee, in each of the neighborhoods where we are located. Today, with more than 15,000 coffee shops in 50 countries, Starbucks has become the world's leading selected coffee roaster and reseller. And we strive for every cup to reflect our heritage and be an exceptional experience. ABOUT STARBUCKS By the way .
