6. HISTORY
• The first Starbucks opened in Seattle, Washington, on
March 30, 1971,
• By three partners who met while they were students
at the University of San Francisco
• English teacher Jerry Baldwin
• History teacher Zev Siegl, and
• Writer Gordon Bowker
• The three were inspired to sell high-quality coffee
beans and equipment by coffee roasting
entrepreneur Alfred Peet after he taught them his
style of roasting beans.
7. • Originally the company was to be called Pequod, after
a whaling ship from Moby-Dick, but this name was rejected by
some of the co-founders. The company was instead named after
the chief mate on the Pequod, Starbuck.
• A popular book “Pour Your Heart Into It: How Starbucks Built
a Company One Cup at a Time” authored by Starbucks Coffee
Chairman and CEO Howard Schultz (2012) is one of the most
comprehensive sources about the business strategy of the
company.
8. • In the next 10 years, the business expanded to five stores and
hired Howard Schultz to manage retail sales and marketing.
• By 1993 the company ventured into the East Coast market in
Washington, D.C., and entered into a venture with Barnes &
Noble to sell its coffee at the bookseller’s stores.
• At this point, the company had licensed 12 stores and was
operating 260 company-owned facilities with revenues reaching
$176.5 million and net earnings at $8.3 million.
9. • Starbucks opened 200 new stores outside of the United States
during 2000, 150 of which were in the Asia-Pacific region, and
opened its first stores in Dubai and Hong Kong.
• And its 100th stores in both Japan and the United Kingdom.
• The following year, Starbucks opened a store in Zurich,
Switzerland, marking its first venture into continental Europe.
10. FINANCIAL CRISIS
• Starbucks experienced its first setback in 2002 when its
Japanese operation posted a $3.9 million loss, despite a 15
percent increase in revenues and 108 new store openings,
• And the first low performance locations were closed. But not
discouraged by this, international expansion continued as
Starbucks opened its first store in Turkey.
• Acquired 129 Seattle’s Best Coffee coffeehouses, as well as
certain wholesale distribution rights.
• In the following two years, its long-term U.S. expansion goal
was set at 50 percent and Starbucks announced it will
eventually open 15,000 domestic outlets.
