History of Starbucks
Three friends opened first Starbucks in 1971. They started they meeting in time of studying in the University of San Francisco. Firstly, it was just a place, where people could buy coffee beans, roasting equipment, etc. Only after a few years they started sell coffee.
First years of chain was really successful and expansion was so slow. In period from 1971 to 1986 there were only 6 stores, which located in the Seatle area. Friends decided to sell Starbucks. Howard Schultz (new owner) already has chain of coffee houses, so he just rebranded already existed chain. Starbucks menu prices and items were changed too.
Chain started growing faster. In 1989 there were 46 stores in different states of USA. Most of the competitors simply bought up by Schultz. In 1996 Japan hosted its first Starbucks coffee house. Nowadays, there are about 23,450 places opened around the world. Every franchise owner must report on how many coffee beans were purchased from local producers. This suggests that Starbucks is thinks not only about its own profit.
Review
Starbucks is really huge coffee houses chain, so there are a lot of different menu items for everyone. Moreover, you can create coffee of your dream or just take already invented recipe from Starbucks secret menu, which contains the most tasty combinations, that can be found in main menu.
You can drink coffee or other drinks in the cafe. Starbucks restaurants looks very luxury and comfortable, so you can order something and just sit here to work. When you make order, you will be asked about your name and it will be written on your cup.
If you want drink coffee in Starbucks, hour of opening is information, that must be known to do this. Most of the places opening hours are from 5-7am to 11pm. Some coffee houses provide their service 24/7.
Usually you don’t need to wait for you order to be prepared very long, but Starbucks is very popular place, so sometimes stuff a little late with the order. Comparing with other coffee houses, prices in Starbucks is higher, but service quality too.
