National Starbucks Day
National Starbucks Day is celebrated every year on September 29. It gives coffee lovers a reason to raise their cups in celebration of one of the most iconic coffeehouse chains in the world.
Whether it’s that morning latte that powers your day, a mid-afternoon Frappuccino treat, or the cozy ritual of sipping coffee with friends, Starbucks has become more than a café, it’s a global experience.
History of Starbucks
Like every great story, Starbucks began with a humble beginning. Back in 1971, three friends- Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl, and Gordon Bowker opened a small store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. Their goal wasn’t to sell coffee drinks at first, but rather to offer high-quality coffee beans and equipment.
The turning point came in the early 1980s, when Howard Schultz, inspired by the coffee culture of Italy, envisioned Starbucks as more than just a store, it could be a “third place” between work and home, where people gather over handcrafted coffee. Schultz’s vision transformed Starbucks into the warm, welcoming spaces we know today, with baristas calling out your name on that iconic cup.
Fast forward to today, Starbucks isn’t just a coffee brand; it’s a cultural movement. From introducing pumpkin spice lattes that signal the start of fall to championing sustainable sourcing and eco-friendly initiatives, Starbucks has continuously brewed innovation alongside tradition.
