Starbucks (with Howard Schultz)
Starbucks. You’d be hard pressed to name any brand that’s more ubiquitous in the world today. With nearly half a billion global customer purchases per week across its stores and 3rd party retail channels, a significant portion of the human population gets their daily fix in the green and white paper cup. (Including our own Ben Gilbert who famously enjoys his daily spinach feta wrap. :)
But it wasn’t always this way. Long before the frappuccinos and the PSLs and the cake pops, Starbucks was just a small-time Seattle roaster that only sold beans - and was started not by Howard Schultz but rather the guys who later ran Peet’s (!). Starting from six tiny stores when Howard took over in 1987, this quirky coffee company named after a character from Moby Dick has scaled to nearly 40,000 locations worldwide.
Today, in a first for Acquired, the protagonist himself joins us as a third cohost to tell the whole story of Starbucks. And Howard is in the perfect moment to do this - after three separate stints as CEO he’s now retired, off the board of directors, and in his own words “not coming back.” So place a mobile order (or not! as you’ll hear Howard speak about), sit back with your own favorite Starbucks items, and enjoy.

How Benchmark Turned $7 Million Into $4 Billion Thanks to eBay
at the start i didn't knew they were talking about cars
Some of the most difficult packaging innovations now look easy, but the level of sophistication required to perfect them goes unseen. They’re ubiquitous for a reason.
Howard did this interview to make it clear (if you read between the lines) that his interests in Starbucks have changed. He’s now made the pivot from being Starbucks management to being their most prominent activist investor. What matters now to him is stock price!
And Costco pays their employees a lot better.
I think we are not appreciating the hosts enough…what great questions man!!! Loved it!
Hahaha...those days are numbered. Really.
So Qualcomm is going to morph into Cyberdyne Systems and rule the world
Waiting for China to build better chip
I would strongly suggest you guys to break it down into chapters, we're talking about 3 hours of content here
huh not exactly you have a lot of cars with a 0 in the middle where Peugeot didn't enforce intellectual property HOWEVER Porsche and Ferdinand Porsche senior was occupying the peugeot foundry and factory and got members of the Peugeot family executed and deported....
Please bring up the video as well, like you use it for shorts
Uhhhh Sam's Club exists...
all was fine until that geekaroid pansy voice came on
Nvdia inspired by Gavin Belson box 😂
Who tf pronounces Peugeot like that?
If you can't even pronounce peugeot correctly why should anyone listen to anything else you have to say? If you cant get something as basic as that right idk what to tell you
Quality humans
Why do both of them sound like chipmunks?
Stock keeping unit.
So start your own chip company and smoke Qualcomm’s prices and when they come a knockin tell em to pound sand and lace their drinks with car fet
"You play that guy that gets dunked on so well" "that's not me playing the role.." hahaha you really honed in on that
I think it’s fair to say the “third place” concept is completely dead in United States stores. With the popularity of the mobile app and drive thru locations I’m trying to figure out if that might actually be what the American consumer wants. I know I DON’T want that. I’m a little sickened every time I go into a sterile newly remodeled store with no seating and no place to socialize. Howard appears to also be bemoaning what the stores have become. As he says, it’s out of his hands now…..
348-349 employees per store ? No way.
BJ’s and Sam’s exist too
Kindly get Jeff Bezos In the room and interview him, I loved the starbucks and Nvidia videos.
Fantastic episode. Please make many many more
Their staff are amazing. Kind, thoughtful, helpful, they individually go out of their way to not just tell you where something is, they TAKE you there to insure they remembered correctly. They take back everything regardless, with a smile. I recently read a Consumer Reports (if I remember cotrectly) article, where CR did a blind test that compared a number of store name brand common foods and wine. The vast majority of products that consistently won was the Costco Kirkland brand, including wines. ❤
Nvidia 3.9 Trillion.. Qualcomm 240 Billion
Классно тащишь здесь) продолжай в том же духе, только делай видосики почаще))
Do you guys have regular grocery stores in the US, where you can have a chat with the owner, and he knows your name and you know his?
Coffee and chocolate is melanin from black ppl.
Costco? Never heard of.. 😊
petition to forbid Americans saying any word in any language other than English.
I have never even gone into a Costco. Massachusetts.
Sólo quería decir cuánto aprecio su dedicación para ayudar a los traders a tener éxito. Sus estrategias son algunas de las más efectivas que he visto en mi vida y su disposición a compartirlas con nosotros sin ninguna expectativa de pago es realmente inspiradora. Gracias por ser un mentor tan increíble Stuart Michael
Sr. Stuart Michael se destaca porque lo mantiene real. A diferencia de algunos corredores con objetivos poco realistas, él cumple lo que ella promete.
Por favor chicos, ¿hay alguna manera de contactar al Sr. Stuart Michael? Eso suena muy útil y agradecería algunas buenas instrucciones.

How to see the full video podcasts?
YET AGAIN AMAZING STRATEGY, I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO TRY IN MY ACCOUNT
Less is More? Hmmmm 🤔👍🏼
Chills man... All those things that seems obvious are not. What a guy!
Thank you dear for taking us along. Can't wait what the @ *LUYBAG* queen picked up at Fendi
Nobody is free. Don't brainwash these kids. There's headache and Advil and from there is gets worse. Benadryl and all kinds of allergy pills. Then you say pill and you owe a plan to Starkist #Tuna
What about "Walmart
I love Costco
their stock just sucks ,I bought nvidia and Qualcomm at the same period of time,Nvidia gives me a 375% gain and qcomm 25%
When consumers are faced with too options, they will get overwhelmed and not buy the product. Keep it simple stupid.
Costco hires the best employees
They tell their stock holders to shut up too…though in a nicer way
"It sucked growing up in debt so I told myself never again and created a company that actively tries to keep it's employees in debt instead."
Ask him why hes trying to crush unions
Huawei. Qualcomm stock price has been dropping because of that.
