Overall: Nice work, well-written article. One thing though, I'm concerned about the use of primary sources (Starbucks Stories) in this article. For example, the statement "In 2022, Starbucks held Red Cup Day on November 17..." only sourced by a primary should be removed. It gives undue prevalence to a promotion that might be otherwise small. But, secondary sources do report on it, so the primary should be replaced or supplemented by the secondary in this case. Same idea with refs 7 and 6; I would remove the statements unless you find a secondary for them. Ref 4 seems mostly OK in a WP:ABOUTSELF way, but not really in its last usage (Starbucks Peppermint Mocha drink). — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 16:28, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@PerfectSoundWhatever: Thanks for the review; made some edits, added some sources. Swapped out top image and suggested it here. Tweaked alt0b a bit; I think I personally prefer alt3 but I don't mind whichever. Kingsif (talk) 02:34, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Still a few closely associated sources, but I think it's good enough. Thanks, approving :) — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 18:30, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
