Starbucks Net Lease Coffee NN Goose Creek South Carolina

Starbucks Corporation is an American coffee company and coffeehouse chain. Starbucks was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1971. Today it operates more than 29,324 retail stores in 78 markets, and the company is planning to open 2,100 new locations in 2019. Starbucks is considered the main representative of "second wave coffee," initially distinguishing itself from other coffee-serving venues in the U.S by taste, quality, and customer experience, while popularizing darkly roasted coffee. Since the 2000’s, third wave coffee makers have targeted quality-minded coffee drinkers with hand-made coffee based on lighter roasts, while Starbucks nowadays uses automated espresso machines for efficiency and safety reasons. Starbucks locations serve hot and cold drinks, whole-bean coffee, micro-ground instant coffee known as VIA, espresso, café latte, full and loose-leaf teas including Teavana tea products, Evolution Fresh juices, Frappuccino beverages, La Boulange pastries, and snacks including items such as chips and crackers; some offerings are seasonal or specific to the locality of the store. Many stores sell pre-packaged food items, hot and cold sandwiches, and drinkware including mugs and tumblers; select "Starbucks Evenings" locations offer beer, wine and appetizers. Starbucks-brand coffee, ice cream and bottled cold coffee drinks are also sold at grocery stores.
