In Europe for example, coffee shops are mon places for people to meet friends while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as mon in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture in the USA changed, when Starbucks (星巴克 ) coffee shops spread throughout the country． The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington， in the USA. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop39。s business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.

In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the pany39。s head of marketing (市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷(xiāo) ). In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso (濃咖啡 ) bars there caught his eyes.

Then the pany opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world. However， that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops peting (競(jìng)爭(zhēng) ) for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the fortable environment offered by Starbucks. ( )36.
