Starbucks is one of the most famous coffee chains in the world with more than 30,000 stores. The company was founded relatively recently, in 1971, and it began its journey as a chain of coffee shops. The first store was opened on March 30, 1971. 1987 was a turning point for Starbucks when Howard Schulz took over the company and began making it the Starbucks we know today. Starbucks became the biggest coffee shop chain in the world, but it all happens with a process, and here are some of the factor that helped Starbucks become this successful:
They have almost everything you can imagine in terms of customization. From coffee to hazelnut syrup and vanilla bean powder. Over the years, Starbucks has made some classic beverages famous, such as the Pumpkin Spice Latte or Cotton Candy Frappuccino. They also have specialty beverages like caramel lattes, frappuccino, etc. These sweet and sugary drinks have gained Starbucks a loyal customer. This sugary syrup also helps the taste of the coffee that gets much complain because it tastes burnt due to over-roasting. Because of this syrup, other coffee shop chains must introduce similar products in order to compete.
The most interesting thing about Starbucks is their secret menu. They have a bunch of it. They aren’t official drinks, so don’t expect Starbucks to know your drink when you tell them about it. We’re just going to list down the things you tell them to have them make it correctly for you.The number of syrup or scoops in the drinks for cold usually go by size.
