The History of Starbucks
The history of Starbucks began in 1971 at Seattle’s Pike Place Market, where it opened its first store selling freshly roasted coffee beans, tea, and spices from various parts of the world for customers to enjoy at home. The name was inspired by the classic novel Moby Dick, referencing the maritime tradition of early coffee merchants.
Ten years later, a young New Yorker named Howard Schultz walked into Starbucks and was captivated by the coffee from the first sip. In 1983, during a trip to Milan, he discovered Italian cafés and was impressed by the warmth and artistry of their coffee culture. Inspired, he returned to Seattle with the idea of transforming Starbucks into something more than just a coffee bean store. In 1987, the company adopted the iconic green aprons and took the next step in its evolution as a coffeehouse.
Expansion came quickly. Starbucks opened stores in Chicago and Vancouver before reaching California, Washington, D.C., and New York. In 1996, it crossed borders with its first store in Japan, followed by Europe in 1998 and China in 1999. Over the next two decades, it grew exponentially, becoming a gathering place for millions of customers each week and an essential part of daily life in thousands of neighborhoods around the world.
