Starbucks History
Starbucks began its journey in 1971 at Pike Place Market in Seattle, where it opened its first store with the aim of selling freshly roasted coffee beans, tea, and spices from around the world, allowing customers to enjoy these products at home. The company’s name was inspired by a character in the classic novel Moby Dick, evoking the rich maritime tradition of the early coffee traders.
A decade later, a young New Yorker named Howard Schultz visited Starbucks and fell in love with the coffee from the very first sip. In 1983, during a trip to Milan, he became captivated by the culture of Italian coffee shops, impressed by the warmth and artistry surrounding the experience. Motivated by his discovery, he returned to Seattle with the ambition to transform Starbucks into more than just a coffee bean store. In 1987, the company adopted its iconic green aprons, marking a new chapter in its evolution toward becoming a true coffeehouse.
The company expanded rapidly and dynamically, opening new stores in Chicago and Vancouver before reaching California, Washington DC, and New York. In 1996, the company took its first international step by opening a store in Japan, followed by its arrival in Europe in 1998 and China in 1999. Over the next two decades, Starbucks grew exponentially, becoming a gathering place for millions of customers every week and becoming an integral part of daily life in communities around the world.
