Major institutional shareholders comprise BlackRock, with 7.18%, and The Vanguard Group, with 8.6% ownership. Starbucks follows a heavy-chained business model, where the company-operated stores play a critical role in the company's long-term strategy, compared to McDonald's heavy-franchised business model, where the long-term plan is to have over 95% of the stores as franchising.

In 2022, Starbucks had 51% of company-operated stores vs. 49% of licensed stores.

For instance, in 2022, with over $32.2 billion in revenue, most of the revenue came from owned stores ($26.57 billion) compared to franchised stores ($3.65 billion) and other revenue sources ($2 billion). Yet owned stores have higher operational costs compared to franchised stores.

In addition, the owned stores are a great asset to keep experimenting with new products while maintaining tight control over the customer experience. Indeed, in 2022, of the over 18K owned stores, Starbucks generated over $26.5 billion in revenue. Yet, its licensing operations are also critical to further amplifying the brand while generating royalties at much lower operational costs than owned stores. In addition, Starbucks' main revenue driver is comprised of beverages which generated over $19.5 billion in 2022, followed by food, which generated over $3.5 billion in the same year.

Starbucks Mission Statement Starbucks's mission is "to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time." And its vision is to “treat people like family, and they will be loyal and give their all.” Starbucks Competitors Starbucks is a multinational coffee chain headquartered in Seattle, Washington. It was founded by Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl, and Gordon Bowker in 1971. From a single and very humble bean roasting store in Pike Place Market, the company is now a global giant operating over 37,711 stores around the world. This large global footprint obviously increases the competition for Starbucks in many different markets. The coffee industry itself is also highly competitive, with established players including McDonald’s and Dunkin’ Donuts. Starbucks Organizational Structure Starbucks follows a matrix organizational structure with a combination of vertical and horizontal structures. It is characterized by multiple overlapping chains of command and divisions. McDonald's vs. Starbucks McDonald's and Starbucks sit in the opposite spectrum of retail business models. Indeed, whereas McDonald's follows a heavily franchised business model, Starbucks follows a heavy-chained one. Starbucks Mission Statement Starbucks highlights its mission as "to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time." And its vision is to “treat people like family, and they will be loyal and give their all.” Starbucks SWOT Analysis Starbucks is a global consumer brand with direct distribution, recognized brands, and products that make it a viable business. Its reliance on the Americas as a primary operating segment makes it a weakness. At the same time, Starbucks faces risks related to coffee beans price volatility. Yet the company still has global expansion opportunities.
