Why was Starbucks made?Starbucks was made by English teacher Jerry Baldwin, History teacher Zev Seigl and Gordon Bowker. The three were inspired to make Starbucks by Alfred Peet, after he taught them his style of roasting coffee beans. The first Starbucks was located at 2000 Western Avenue in Seattle, and it was there from 19-71 to 1976. If you scroll down there is a picture of the first Starbucks.
Why did they want to open up "Starbucks"? They wanted to make a coffee shop to show people the method of Alfred Peet. Witch I'm guessing was a pretty good method. Then Starbucks became a sucsess as you probably know. |
