Global Marketing
From modest beginnings 45 years ago in Seattle's Pike Street Market, Starbucks Corporation has become a global marketing phenomenon. Today, Starbucks is the world's leading specialty coffee retailer, with 2019 revenues of $26.51 billion. In the United States, nearly two-thirds of Starbucks outlets are company owned; the remaining one-third are operated by licensees. Outside the United States, the proportions are reversed: about two-thirds are run by licensees or partnerships in which Starbucks has equity stakes. Starbucks founder and chairman, Howard Schultz, and his management team have used a variety of market-entry approaches—direct ownership, licensing, and franchising—to create an empire of more than 21,000 coffee cafés in 65 countries. In addition, Schultz has licensed the Starbucks brand name to marketers of noncoffee products such as ice cream. The company has even made forays into movies and recorded music.
