Confidence votes 421. Baldwin, Siegel, and Bowker chose the name Starbucks in honor of Starbuck, the coffee-loving first mate in Herman Melville's Moby Dick (so company legend has it), and because they thought the name evoked the romance of the high seas and the seafaring tradition of the early coffee traders.
The first international Starbucks location was in Tokyo, opening in 1996. After acquiring Seattle's Coffee Company, Starbucks opened in several locations within the United Kingdom. In 1996, the company stocks were offered for public trading, and in 2003, there were 6,400 stores open worldwide. Another marker of Starbucks' success occurred on 14 September 2006, when Deidrich's Coffee, the company's longtime rival, agreed to be bought out.
