Founding of Starbucks
Starbuck’s first store was located in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. It started off with just one store in 1971. Then the marketing and operations manager, Howard Schultz, decided the small coffee shop should test out some of the strategies that he examined at coffee shops in Italy. He wanted to bring their traditions back to the U.S. He wanted the coffee houses to be a place to converse, and have a sense of community. He left Starbucks to start his own Giornale coffeehouses, and returned in 1987 to purchase Starbucks.
