The growth of the company and the license that Starbucks has is to participate in other food and beverage opportunities.

Howard Schultz
When we began Starbucks, what I wanted to try to do was to create a set of values, guiding principles, and culture.
Howard Schultz
Starbucks is rekindling America's love affair with coffee, bringing romance and fresh flavor back to the brew.
Howard Schultz
Often, organizations need bold, grand gestures to galvanize people towards a new mission or refocus their attention.

Success is best when its shared
Howard Schultz
Starbucks has stores in America in many, many communities that are governed by many, many different municipalities. Starbucks cannot dictate to a municipality in Cincinnati or Kansas City or Sacramento how or why or when there should be a recycling program.
Howard Schultz
Any business today that embraces the status quo as an operating principle is going to be on a death march.
Howard Schultz
You must find something that you deeply love and are passionate about and are willing to sacrifice a lot to achieve.
