The History of Starbucks
Starbucks is a world-famous roaster and retailer of specialty coffee with a presence in more than 50 countries, including Canada. Founded in 1971 by Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl and Gordon Bowker, the company started as a small store in Seattle's historic Pike Place Market. At the time, they offered some of the best freshly roasted whole-grain coffee in the world. Years later, in 1987, Howard Schultz - chairman, president and CEO, purchased Starbucks and transformed it into a coffeehouse. This idea came up during a trip to Italy, where the coffee experience already had a romantic and traditional appeal. More than a place that offers good coffee, the coffeehouse was seen as a place for conversation and a sense of community.
With Schultz's new model, Starbucks began its growth as a franchise around the globe and today has over 15,000 stores. The company has become a place that inspires the feeling of connection and not only celebrates coffee and its rich tradition.
Starbucks introduced its first line of instant coffee in 2009, including the Italian Roast and Colombia flavours. Thereafter, new flavours, formats and different roasts were added to the portfolio. Behind each cup of Starbucks coffee, there is a well-structured sustainability model that supports 400,000 farmers and their communities. The commitment to ethically sourcing and roasting the highest quality arabica coffee has been with the company since the very beginning. Starbucks coffee comes from Latin America, Africa and the large Asia/Pacific region as green beans and then are transformed into flavorful, aromatic coffee. The single-origin or blend coffees are developed by roasting every coffee differently to reveal its exclusive aroma, acidity, body and taste.
