In 1971, Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegel, and Gordon Bowker opened the first Starbucks in Seattle, Washington. The business grew slowly, and even in 1992, there were only 165 Starbucks locations. The 1990s and 2000s saw explosive growth in the company, as they began opening new Starbucks locations every day of the year. Today, there are over 15,000 Starbucks' locations worldwide.
In recent years, increased competition has slowed the growth of Starbucks. Many customers are no longer willing to pay $4.00 for a cup of coffee. I recently started doing research on Starbucks Coffee Drink Recipes. I was impressed to find so many recipes floating around the internet. If you want to try to make Starbucks Coffee drink recipes at home, here are my Top 3 recommendations!
