STARBUCKS WITH AN EXTRA SHOT OF HISTORY
Starbucks coffee transformed the way people think about coffee today. It took the love for brewed coffee and brought it home for people to share. The turning point was in 1987 when Howard Schultz took over Starbucks and opened stores in others states and Canada, then giving Starbucks 17 different locations. This paved the way to having Starbucks coffee houses on every street corner across the United States and other Countries. Starbucks also added to the pop culture dictionary with coined phrases such as barista, tall, venti, grande, double shot, half-caf, mocha, latta. By 1995 Starbucks had 677 different locations across the United States and Canada. They started serving Frappuccino blended drinks, yet again adding to the list of new words to the pop culture dictionary. Starting in 1994 Starbucks added to the ease of getting your caffine fix by establishing drive-thru stores. If it wasn't for Howard Schultz and his vision of making a coffee house culture in the United States we would not have such caffeine fulled society.
