What you don't know about Starbucks lets you know about the second wave of giants in the history of world coffee

Starbucks founder store

Starbucks Coffee, which is popular all over the world, is regarded as one of the representatives of globalization and American culture. In 1971, British teacher Jerry Baldwin, history teacher Zev Siegel and writer Gordon Bowker jointly opened the first Starbucks. The name of the store is inspired by the first mate Starbuck in the famous novel Moby Dick, because he always takes a big sip of coffee. Logo is the topless double-tailed mermaid in Greek mythology, implying that your own coffee has a strong attraction and temptation.

The world's first Starbucks coffee opened in the Park Market in Seattle in 1971. Later, because the original building was demolished, the Starbucks founder store moved to 1912 Pike Market, where it continues to operate today. I have to mention that there is a mascot in Pike Market, that is the Golden Pig, which has a nice name Rachel and a coin hole on its head, except that the money raised will be used for the public good.

Until it was bought by Howard Schultz in 1987 and integrated with its own coffee shop, it changed Logo to a green label and covered its naked upper body, and began to expand rapidly around the world. so far, there are nearly 20000 stores. The appearance of the original store is different from that of most modern Starbucks stores, and it looks quite rural and elegant. In addition to the strong aroma of coffee, there is also a strong old flavor in the shop. Hand-made espresso and a variety of hot and cold coffee drinks, fresh and delicious all kinds of pastries are arranged in an orderly manner.

Since it is a founding store, of course, it has its uniqueness, so let the editor pick it for everyone.

1Logo is different.

The original store retains the original LOGO logo, and this is the only Starbucks in the world that has this complete double-tailed mermaid. It shows unique charm and unique beauty. This logo is very different from the Starbucks logo used today. today's logo has been changed from brown to green. The mermaid is still a full-length portrait, but the detached printmaking style is more like a logo. It is said that the changes were made on the advice of customers who felt that the image of the mermaid was aggressive and that there was too much "sexual" seduction in it. So the logo is changed by subtraction.

2 coffee products sold exclusively

The window was covered with coffee powder and beans, plus layers of boxes stacked, which at first glance seemed to be a coffee powder and coffee bean store. It is said that the coffee beans here are not available at other Starbucks. If three or four people go for coffee, Starbucks will have a barista for them.

(3) there are more passengers and more buskers.

Because it is a founding store, it is conceivable that tourists are like an endless stream of tourists with many guests, so how can buskers miss a good opportunity to make money? If you go in the afternoon, there will be a lot of tourists at this time.

4 unique Starbucks Cup

When you come to this original store, you have to buy your own souvenirs. People who like to collect Starbucks cups will be unable to help shopping when they come here. All the souvenirs on the shelves are on display. People who want to buy them will tell the clerk when they check out, and they will bring you brand new ones.
