Starbucks began in 1971 in Seattle and grew to over 140 stores by 1987, when founder Gerald Baldwin sold the company to Howard Schultz. Under Schultz's leadership, Starbucks established itself as the dominant coffee chain in North America. To drive growth, Starbucks focused on quality products, atmosphere, service, and expanding into high-traffic locations. However, maintaining high customer satisfaction grew challenging as customer needs changed and competitors emerged. Starbucks addressed this through product and service innovations, as well as customer research methods to identify issues and solutions to keep customers satisfied.
