Starbucks Trying To Build A Different Kind

Sometimes The Difference Between Winning And Losing Is Will. The Will To Make It Happen.

Starbucks Is In My Blood. It Is Such A Part Of Me That Letting It Unravel Simply Was Not An Option.

Post-9/11, We Saw An Immediate Uptick In The Amount Of People In Our Stores, All Over The Country. People Wanted That Human Connection. We Are Not Going To Fracture The Starbucks Experience.

Starbucks Being An Extension Of Peoples Home And Work. The Sense Of Community, Human Connection. That Appears To Be As Relevant In Turkey, China, Japan And Spain As It Is Here In America. And Starbucks I Think Is Creating Something For People All Over The World That Has Not Existed Before.

My Parents Really Wanted Me To Get Out Of New York, Be Exposed To Other People, Other Ways Of Life.
