Starbucks does not franchise operations and has no plans to franchise in the foreseeable future.
In North America, the majority of our stores are Company-operated. As an exception, Starbucks may enter into licensing arrangements with companies who provide access to real estate which would otherwise be unavailable such as airport locations, national grocery chains, major food services corporations, college and university campuses and hospitals.
You can apply for a retail position directly at any Starbucks location. Each of our stores hires and manages its own team of part-time and full-time hourly partners.
For other Starbucks opportunities, use the Job Center right here on Starbucks.com as your source for the most current
openings. You can search for open positions, apply for jobs, and learn all about working for our dynamic, growing company online.
At this time, our roasting facilities in Kent, Washington, and York, Pennsylvania, and our headquarters in Seattle, Washington, are not open for tours. You can explore
the Coffee Education section of this Web site to learn all about the history, sourcing, harvesting, roasting, and tasting of Starbucks® coffee.
