Starbucks is a coffee retailer that sells drinks and food to customers through coffeehouses and other channels. Its stores serve handcrafted coffee, tea and other beverages alongside food. Customers can also buy packaged coffee and tea and ready-to-drink beverages for consumption away from its stores.
The business reaches customers through both company-operated and licensed coffeehouses. Starbucks runs the company-operated locations itself. Licensed locations are run by other businesses, which sell Starbucks products and follow its operating procedures. The company also works with partners to distribute branded products through grocery and foodservice channels.
