It was true when the first Starbucks opened in 1971, and itâs just as true today. Back then, the company was a single store in Seattleâs historic Pike Place Market. From just a narrow storefront, Starbucks offered some of the worldâs finest fresh-roasted whole bean coffees.
From Starbucks' founding in 1971 as a Seattle coffee bean roaster and retailer, the company has expanded rapidly. Between 1987 and 2007, Starbucks opened on average two new stores every day.he first Starbucks location outside North America opened in Tokyo, Japan, in 1996. Starbucks entered the U.K. market in 1998 with the $83 million USD acquisition of the then 56-outlet, UK-based Seattle Coffee Company, re-branding all the stores as Starbucks.
