Humble Beginnings
Starbucks was founded in 1971 by three partners: Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl, and Gordon Bowker. Their first store was in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, offering premium coffee beans and equipment.
From Local Roaster to Global Icon.
The Schultz Revolution
In 1982, Howard Schultz joined Starbucks. Inspired by Italy’s coffee culture, Schultz envisioned Starbucks as more than a coffee bean retailer—it became a café where people connect over coffee.
Coffee is the product, but it’s about the experience.
