Starbucks Community Stores
Starbucks has a long history of supporting communities. Starbucks community stores are a new development in that story, one where our stores play a direct role in helping their neighborhoods.
In Los Angeles and New York City, we are collaborating with two innovative nonprofit organizations to support their neighborhood revitalization efforts and improve community education, employment, health, housing and safety.
A portion of our profits from Starbucks community stores in the Harlem and Crenshaw neighborhoods will be shared with these nonprofit organizations. This marks a new way of doing business, literally sharing the success of our stores within their immediate neighborhoods. We aim to replicate this model in communities across the country and around the world.
Crenshaw Neighborhod, Los Angeles
In collaboration with the Los Angeles Urban league, Crenshaw & Coliseum store shares a portion of its profits with the community. Founded in 1921, the Los Angeles Urban League is recognizing 90 years of service to Los Angeles communities. The League is the city’s premier organization in advancing equal opportunities on behalf of African Americans and other minority youths and adults through Neighborhoods@Work™, innovative job training and placement, youth achievement and business development programs. Through its collective award-winning programs, services and advocacy activities the Los Angeles Urban League serves over 100,000 constituents annually.
Harlem Neighborhood, New York City
In addition to providing housing, workforce development and social service programs in the Central Harlem neighborhood, Abyssinian Development Corporation (ADC) recognizes the integral role that education plays in the economic well-being of the individual and the community. ADC’s work in education, Abyssinian Schools, is a critical component of their plan for economic transformation of the Harlem community. Profits from our 125th & Lenox store will support those efforts.
