Overview of the company

Starbucks was established in 1971 in 1971 by Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl as well as Gordon Bowker at Seattle’s Pike Place Market. In the early 1980s they sold the company to Howard Schultz who – after an official trip in Milan, Italy – decided to transform the coffee shop into a cafe that served espresso-based drinks.

As the chief of staff from the year 1986 until 2000, Schultz’s term led to a rapid growth of Starbucks initially in Seattle and later all over to the West Coast of the United States. Schultz succeeds Orin Smith, who managed the business for five years, and established Starbucks as a major company of fair trade tea.

This led to an increase in the sales to $5 billion. Jim Donald served as chief executive officer from 2005 until 2008, coordinating a massive increase in earnings. Schultz returned as CEO in the crisis in the financial markets of 2007-2008 and spent the next decade expanding the market share of the company and expanding its offerings and reorienting its brand around corporate social accountability.

Kevin Johnson, the current CEO succeeded Schultz in the year 2017. On March 20, 2022 Starbucks made it clear that Schultz will return to the position of CEO in April 2022.

Non-dairy milk products

The year was 1997 when Starbucks began offering non-dairy products in the U.S. stores with the introduction of soy milk.

The company in June of 2009 started selling baked goods and salads without excessively high fructose corn syrup, or artificial ingredients. The move was intended to draw health-conscious and price-conscious consumers.

Ethos water is a brand of bottle water bought through Starbucks since 2003. It is offered at various locations across North America. Ethos bottles are marked with prominently branded labels that reads “helping children to access water that is clean water,” referring to the fact that US$0.05 from every US$1.80 container that is sold (US$0.10 for each bottle sold in Canada) is used to finance water purification water projects in the most deprived areas.
