Starbucks began in 1971 at Seattle’s Pike Place Market, offering fresh‑roasted coffee beans and a passion for high‑quality craftsmanship. Since then, it has grown into a global coffeehouse brand known for its welcoming atmosphere, consistent customer experience, and commitment to community. Guided by its mission “to inspire and nurture the human spirit — one person, one cup, and one neighborhood at a time,” Starbucks focuses on connection, quality, and service. The company values its partners (employees) and strives to create an inclusive, people‑focused culture where everyone is welcome and empowered to grow.
