"About
Starbucks" Starbucks purchases and roasts
high-quality whole bean coffees and sells them along with fresh, rich brewed,
Italian style espresso beverages, a variety of pastries and confections, and
coffee-related accessories and equipment -
- primarily through its company - operated retail stores. In addition to sales
through its company -operated retail stores, Starbucks sells primarily whole
bean coffees through a specialty sales group, a direct response business,
supermarkets, and online at www.Starbucks.com.
Additionally, Starbucks produces and sells bottled Frappuccino coffee drink and
a line of premium ice creams through its joint venture partnerships and offers a
line of innovative premium teas produced by its wholly owned subsidiary, Tazo
Tea Company. The Company's objective is to establish Starbucks as the most
recognized and respected brand in the world.
To achieve this goal, the Company plans to
continue to rapidly expand its retail operations, grow its specialty sales and
other operations, and selectively pursue opportunities to leverage the Starbucks
brand through the introduction of new products and the development of new
distribution channels.
Starbucks first opened in Pike Place
Market in Seattle in 1971. Now, there are over 4,000 Starbucks open
