Starbucks is one of America’s most successful companies. The company was founded in 1971 in Seattle, Washington. According to Wikipedia, the first store was opened on March 30, 1971. The three partners who opened the store were English teacher Jerry Baldwin, writer Gordon Bowker and history teacher Zev Siegel. Starbucks’ history states they got the name Starbucks from Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. Their intention was to sell great quality coffee.

The location of the first store was 2000 Western Avenue. In 1976, the store moved to 1912 Pike Place where it remains today. Over the years, the company added on Howard Schultz who introduced the company to espresso drinks. From there they grew into a huge international brand who offers various coffees from around the world.

Starbucks remains one of America’s best business success stories. They currently have more than 16,000 stores in 48 countries.

Starbucks started in March 30, 1971 when three academics: English teacher Jerry Baldwin, history teacher Zev Siegl, and writer Gordon Bowker, each invested $1350 of their own money into their first Starbucks in Seattle. They named their store Starbucks Coffee, Tea, and Spice. Starbucks went public in 1992 and in 2008 it was ranked 277 on the Fortune 500.

It’s so inspiring to know that from a small capital, Starbucks now is the largest coffeehouse company in the world with more than 17,000 stores in 55 countries. They are most popularly known for coffee but they also have more products like:
Whole bean coffee
Boxed tea
Made-to-order beverages
Bottled beverages
Baked goods
Merchandise
Frappuccino beverages
Smoothies
And as of 2009, they have 128,898 employees. And you can visit their website at http://www.starbucks.com/.
