Since 1971, Starbucks has progressively worked its way into being a global powerhouse. Renowned for its coffee, hot chocolates, and other treats, people around the world go to Starbucks on a regular basis.
Some just go to get their warm drinks in the morning; whereas others take their laptops with them to dine in at a cafe nearby. The company’s sit-down atmosphere and Wi-Fi have made it an attractive place for remote workers and others with things to do on their computers.
Starbucks currently operates in 84 countries around the world and there seems to be no sign of them slowing down anytime soon.
As a matter of fact, the company appears ready to pick up the pace and move towards further expansion. This week, Starbucks publicly revealed a goal to increase its number of locations by 17,000 before 2030 arrives.
