You Asked for it: Introducing the Mini Starbucks Card!!
June 26, 2009
by Chuck Davidson
The Mini Starbucks Card is a convenient way to always have your Starbucks Experience at your finger tips – just clip it to whatever you like (keys, gym bag, etc.) and continue to enjoy your on-the-go lifestyle. I clipped mine to my racing bike, so I am never without a doppio espresso when I need it - I just cycle to a Starbucks store and swipe my Mini Starbucks Card – no wallet required! My friend Sally has hers clipped to her dog’s leash, making it a convenient stop for both of them on their daily walk. The Mini Starbucks Card works just like a Starbucks Card; register it to enjoy rewards, benefits and to protect your balance too! Yesterday we had a contest to see who could … more »
Questions About Licensed Stores
June 02, 2009
by Kerry B
Hi, this is Kerry Busheikin, vice president of Operations for Licensed Stores East. There have been a lot of great questions lately about licensed stores. I wanted to take this opportunity to share some information about why we license and the benefits it provides our customers and I’ll address some of the questions asked. A Starbucks licensed store is owned and operated by an approved licensee. Each licensee is closely evaluated to ensure they meet our stringent requirements in order to operate the Starbucks brand. These retail locations are staffed by the licensee’s employees and they follow Starbucks training guidelines including beverage quality, store cleanliness, and creating … more »

We are listening to you and the Treat Receipt is back! The Treat Receipt is our version of Happy Hour and beginning June 30 through September 29, customers who make any purchase before 2 p.m. at participating stores can return the same day after 2 p.m., present their receipt and purchase any Grande (16 fl. oz) cold drink for only $2 (plus tax if applicable).

Starbucks at Disney Village Paris
June 23, 2009
by sbx_rnis
Have you heard the buzz about the new Starbucks store in France? On June 20th, we opened a new store in the Disney Village Paris that is truly in a class of its own. It is the first international store to be built using our new design concept that connects our stores to our coffee heritage. This store is also the 50th Starbucks store in France and marks the 5th anniversary of this important market. So, what’s so special about this new store? Inspired by artists’ studio environments and modern design in Europe in the 1930’s, this store is not only beautiful but also includes local materials and green design to enhance the customer experience. This new store design is part of … more »
Brewed Coffee Calendar – Bold Pick of the Day
June 29, 2009
by Colin Frolich
Colin from the brewed team here. I wanted to share some changes we’re making to help customers better understand their brewed coffee choices. Starting today, 6/29, all of our U.S. Company-Operated and Licensed Stores will begin displaying new signage reflecting a change in name from Today’s Morning Pick to Bold Pick of the Day for our “bolder” coffee offering. The new name and updated signage will mean much clearer messaging around choice of brewed coffee. We are changing the name because we’ve received feedback that the former name did not fully communicate the fact that the coffees on our rotating calendar are among our bolder and more complex coffees. The new … more »

by Anna C
Hello, my name is Anna Cunningham and I work on the Community Investments team at Starbucks. This past January, Starbucks and the HandsOn Network invited people to pledge five hours of their time to serve their local communities. The response was tremendous!

If you need ideas about how to fulfill your pledge, please visit the HandsOn Network’s website or the V2V Network to find out how you can serve your local community.
