I At Starbucks they manufacture coffee. Not just any coffee, they specialize in high-quality coffee, and their agents go all over the world to buy it.

The company is based in Seattle – that’s where the head office is, and that’s where the first company’s stores were. Americans drink a lot of coffee. They are interested in quality, and that’s why they drink coffee made by Starbucks. The sales for this year are 285 million dollars, and they have an annual growth rate (темпы роста) of more than 75% (per cent). Starbucks employs 6,000 people, 60% of them part-time (не полностью занятый). All 6,000 employees are shareholders in the company.
