Follow the aroma of strong coffee to explore the birthplace of Starbucks

Starbucks is the name of a coffee chain in the United States, with its headquarters in Seattle, Washington, USA. In addition to coffee, Starbucks also has tea, crust cakes and other products. Starbucks already has nearly 12000 stores worldwide in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and the Pacific. In 2007, a film with the same name as Starbucks was made in the United States.

Know Starbucks, because Starbucks chain stores like pieces scattered in the streets of the country; experience Starbucks, because one of the pieces fell on the street not far from my home; know Starbucks, because not long ago found the earliest chess piece-"Starbucks first store".

It never occurred to me to inquire into the origin of Starbucks' ancestors, or to show up in front of the Starbucks headquarters one day. When setting foot on the land of Seattle, Washington, a number of unexpected things have become a reality.

On a drizzling afternoon, the drizzling rain, with the faint aroma of coffee, led to the first Starbucks store at 1912 Pike Market Street in Seattle. The shop is small, and the original trademark double-tailed mermaid picture shows that the store is different from other chain stores, attracting tourists from all directions to stop and take photos.

Matchbox huts are shrouded in brown antiquity: the L-shaped counter is brown, the pillar bronze medals marked "Starbucks No.1" are brown, and the three most primitive logos hanging side by side above the window are brown. The world map and old photos hanging on the wall are brown, and people's mood is adjusted to coffee with the elegant aroma of coffee in the air.

Starbucks first Store opened at 2000 West Street in Seattle on March 30th, 1971, and has since moved to its present location. At the beginning of the business, only coffee beans were sold. In 1987, Howard Schultz bought Starbucks Coffee and Bean Store and sold coffee instead. This change is out of control, the variety of business is increasing day by day, and the scale of operation is expanding rapidly.
