How do I buy my own Starbucks License?

Starbucks is not a franchise, however investors can license a shop from Starbucks. Starbucks has 10,000 stores worldwide, some 4,400 of them are licensed shops. It’s nearly impossible to open Starbucks store as franchise in US or Canada, but in other countries, there is always a possibility. Licensees don’t own stores, as franchisees do; they basically rent the Starbucks brand by paying a licensing fee.

Give Customers the Ultimate Coffeehouse Experience.

Starbucks is one of the most popular and recognized brands in the coffee industry. The coffee shop chain has 10,000 stores worldwide with approximately 4,400 of them as licensed shops. Starbucks franchises are available overseas in countries excluding the United States and Canada. If you’d like to open a Starbucks in the US or Canada, you may do so as a licensee only. As a licensee, you would pay a license fee to use the Starbucks brand. Starbucks does this so the company can have more control over stores and quality of the product.

Perfect for experienced entrepreneurs!
