Starbucks, established in 1971 in Seattle, Washington, has grown into the world's largest coffeehouse chain, symbolizing the global coffee culture. With its headquarters still in Seattle, Starbucks operates over 30,000 locations worldwide, employing hundreds of thousands of individuals across its global outlets. As of my last update in April 2023, Starbucks continues to serve millions of customers daily, offering a wide range of coffee beverages, teas, snacks, and accessories.
