International expansion: contradictions.

Seoul, Korea alone probably has over 700 Starbucks. South Korea alone probably more than 870 Stores. I would say 900-1,000 Stores. South Korea need Starbucks Drive-Thru system in all City or City outskirt areas. Weather, people, Culture, family, friends make Starbucks very big business in Korea.

None of the countries listed in the continent columns are referenced, and some listed in there are not colored on the map, e.g. South Africa. -- Jeandré, 2011-06-18t13:43z

Cyprus should be listed under Europe, not Asia. It is a European Union state and the Starbucks franchise in the country is owned by the Greek franchise owners. Thank you. Nowplusone (talk) 13:28, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. I tend to agree with you, but the sourced content at Cyprus#Geography suggests it's not quite as simple as that. I'd like to see consensus for the change.

"Starbucks' chairman, Howard Schultz, has talked about making sure growth does not dilute the company's culture[56]" under Corporate Governance. This statement is out of place, newly irrelevant and inaccurate, and currently lacks credibility (the link from 2006 does not provide quality evidence). The rest of this section talks about the governing structure within the company, while this statement stands alone without elaboration. Howard Shultz is no longer the chairman, making this statement inaccurate. Therefore this statement regarding the company's cultural philosophy is no longer relevant. In addition, the link is outdated (2006) while the statement seems to speak in the present (company's culture can change rapidly). The link also does not provide direct credibility for this statement. My wish is for this to be removed or rewritten and moved to a more appropriate location in the article.

Semi-protected edit request on 7 June 2017

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Starbucks. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
