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.
Seattle-based coffee chain Starbucks has seen expansion on a large scale in recent years, tripling from around seven thousand stores in 2003 to more than 21 thousand in 2014. As of May 2014, the United States, with 11,563 locations, had the largest number of Starbucks stores in the world by far.
