Team Starbucks

Starbucks opened it's first coffee shop on March 30, 1971 in Seattle, Washington. The original founders Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl and Gordon Bowker were inspired by their mutual friend Alfred Peet who opened his first shop Peet's Coffee and Tea in Berkley, California in 1966. Peet is considered to be a pioneer for introducing custom coffee roasting in America. The name Starbuck is from the novel Moby Dick written by Herman Melville, Starbuck was the first mate on the ship Pequod. The Starbucks logo is called a Melusine (mermaid) which in European legends is a feminine spirit of fresh waters in sacred springs and rivers. Over the decades Starbucks has grown into an empire that no one could imagine. Not only has it taken over America its has taken over the world. If you haven't had the opportunity to experience what the rest of have please I insist...Everybody loves a good cup of coffee.
