Item 1.  Business

GENERAL. Starbucks Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Starbucks" or the
"Company") purchases and roasts high-quality whole bean coffees and sells them,
along with fresh, rich-brewed coffees and Italian-style espresso beverages,
primarily through Company-operated and licensed retail stores. The Company's
objective is to establish Starbucks as the most recognized and respected brand
of coffee in the world. To achieve this goal, the Company plans to continue to
rapidly expand its retail operations, grow its direct response and specialty
sales operations, and selectively pursue other opportunities to leverage and
grow the Starbucks brand through the introduction of new products and the
development of new distribution channels.

Starbucks is committed to selling only the finest whole bean coffees and coffee
beverages. To ensure compliance with its rigorous standards, Starbucks is
vertically integrated, controlling its coffee sourcing, roasting, and
distribution through its Company-operated retail stores. The Company purchases
green coffee beans for its many blends and varietals from coffee-producing
regions throughout the world and custom roasts them to its exacting standards.

Company-operated retail stores accounted for approximately 86% of net revenues
during the fiscal year ended September 29, 1996. Starbucks retail objective is
to become the leading retailer and brand of coffee in each of its target markets
by selling the finest quality coffees and related products, and by providing a
superior level of customer service, thereby building a high degree of customer
loyalty. Of the 1,006 Starbucks stores open on September 29, 1996, 929 were
Company-operated retail stores located in 21 states, the District of Columbia,
British Columbia and Ontario, Canada. Licensees operated 75 stores in North
America. In addition, the first two Starbucks stores outside North America
opened in Tokyo, Japan during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996.

In addition to its retail operations, the Company sells primarily whole bean
coffees through a specialty sales group and a national direct response business.
The Company has also entered into joint ventures with the Pepsi-Cola Company, a
division of PepsiCo, Inc. ("Pepsi"), to develop ready-to-drink coffee-based
products and with Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. ("Dreyer's") to develop premium
coffee ice cream products.

RETAIL STORES. Starbucks stores are typically clustered in high- traffic,
high-visibility locations in each market. Because the Company has the ability to
vary the size of its stores, Starbucks stores are located in a variety of
settings, including office buildings, downtown and suburban retail centers, and
kiosks located generally in building lobbies, airport terminals, supermarket
foyers, and university campuses. While the Company selectively locates stores in
suburban malls, its focus is on stores that are convenient for pedestrian street
traffic.

The Company combines its merchandising strategy with its marketing programs to
create and reinforce a distinctive brand image for its coffees. The Company's
merchandising strategy is reflected in its product mix, product pricing, and
sale and educational materials.

All Starbucks stores offer a choice of regular or decaffeinated coffee
beverages, changing "coffees of the day," and a broad selection of Italian-style
espresso beverages, as well as distinctively packaged, freshly roasted whole
bean coffees, a selection of fresh pastries and other food items, sodas, juices,
tea, and coffee-related hardware products and equipment. During fiscal 1996, the
Company's retail sales mix by product type was approximately 61% coffee
beverages, 15% whole bean coffees, 16% food items, and 8% coffee-related
hardware products and equipment.

The product mix in each store varies and is dependent on the size of the store
and its location. Larger stores carry a revolving selection that can include any
of the Company's whole bean coffees and a range of coffee-related products,
   4
including exclusive, high-quality coffee-making equipment as well as accessories
bearing various Company trademarks, such as coffee mugs, coffee grinders,
storage containers, coffee filters, and finely packaged gourmet food products.
The smaller stores and kiosks typically sell a full line of coffee beverages, a
limited selection of whole bean coffees and a few hardware items, most notably
logo mugs and small equipment items.

The Company and its licensees intend to open at least 325 new stores in North
America during fiscal 1997. The Company plans to enter at least three major new
markets in North America during fiscal 1997, including Phoenix, Arizona, and
Miami, Florida. For information on expansion plans outside of continental North
America, see discussion below under International.

OTHER DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS. Starbucks retail expansion strategy is to increase
its market share in existing markets and to open stores in new markets where it
believes it can become the leading specialty coffee retailer. In addition, the
Company will continue to expand its specialty sales and direct response
operations, and will selectively pursue other distribution channels.

Specialty Sales. Specialty Sales includes distribution to restaurants and a wide
range of institutional customers, including airlines, hotels, wholesale
warehouses, business offices, multi-unit retailers, universities, hospitals, and
country clubs. Specialty sales revenues (which for financial reporting purposes
include royalties and fees from licensees as well as sales of products to
licensees and joint ventures) accounted for approximately 11% of the Company's
net revenues during the fiscal year ended September 29, 1996. Starbucks is
committed to expanding its specialty sales operations. During fiscal 1996, the
Company entered into an alliance with U.S. Office Products to serve Starbucks
coffee in the workplace environment.

Licensed Stores. Starbucks has entered into a development agreement that allows
Host International, Inc. ("Host") to operate Starbucks retail stores in airport
locations. Starbucks receives a license fee and a royalty from Host and sells
coffee to Host for resale in the licensed airport stores. All licensed airport
stores operated by Host must follow Starbucks detailed store operating
procedures and all Host managers and employees who work in the licensed airport
stores must receive the same core training given to Starbucks store managers and
employees. During fiscal 1996, the Company entered into a licensing arrangement
with ARAMARK Food and Services Group, Inc. ("ARAMARK") to put licensed Starbucks
operations at various locations operated by ARAMARK. During the fiscal year
ended September 29, 1996, sales to and royalties from licensees were
approximately one percent of the Company's net revenues.

Starbucks does not currently intend to turn over operational control of
Starbucks stores in North America in any environment in which it can control
retail space; however, in limited situations where a master concessionaire
controls the retail space, Starbucks may consider licensing its operations.

Direct Response. The Company publishes a mail order catalog that is distributed
approximately six times a year and which offers its coffees, certain food items,
and select coffee-making equipment and accessories. The Company ships products
to customers located in all 50 states and many foreign countries. Direct
Response also operates an electronic store on America Online, allowing customers
to order their favorite coffees and products. During fiscal 1996, Direct
Response accounted for approximately three percent of the Company's net
revenues. Management believes its direct response operations will continue to
support its retail store expansion into new markets and reinforce brand
recognition in existing markets.

Joint Ventures. The Company has entered into a joint venture agreement with
Pepsi, to develop and distribute ready-to-drink coffee-based products. The joint
venture agreement contemplates the distribution of products within the United
States and Canada by Pepsi-owned and independently licensed bottlers and other
distributors or retailers. In May 1996, the joint venture introduced bottled
Frappuccino (TM) coffee drink in supermarkets and other retail points of
distribution throughout the West Coast. Frappuccino (TM) coffee drink is
currently available in two flavors - coffee and mocha. Based on trade and
consumer reception of this product, the joint venture is planning wider
distribution. The joint venture concluded test marketing of
   5
MAZAGRAN (TM), a lightly carbonated coffee drink, and currently does not have
plans to market this product nationwide.

On October 31, 1995, the Company announced an agreement to form a joint venture
with Dreyer's to develop and distribute Starbucks premium coffee ice creams.
During fiscal 1996, the joint venture introduced five flavors of Starbucks Ice
Cream, available in grocery stores throughout the United States.

International. The Company considers locations outside of continental North
America to be part of its international operations. On October 25, 1995, the
Company signed an agreement with SAZABY Inc., a Japanese retailer and
restaurateur, to form a joint venture which will primarily develop Starbucks
retail stores in Japan. The joint venture opened its first two stores in Tokyo,
Japan during fiscal 1996. The joint venture currently anticipates opening ten to
twelve additional stores in Japan during fiscal 1997.

On August 3, 1996, the Company signed a joint venture partnership agreement with
a Hawaii-based management team formed by the MacNaughton Group, to develop
Starbucks locations in Hawaii. The joint venture opened the first Starbucks
retail location in Hawaii during the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

The Company also signed an agreement with a subsidiary of Bonvests Holding
Limited ("Bonvests") on August 8, 1996, that makes them a licensee for Starbucks
retail locations in Singapore. The first retail location in Singapore opened
during the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The Company and Bonvests currently
anticipate opening five additional stores in Singapore in fiscal 1997.

PRODUCT SUPPLY. The Company depends upon both its outside brokers and its direct
contacts with exporters in countries of origin for the supply of its primary raw
material, green coffee. Coffee is the world's second largest traded commodity
and its supply and price are subject to volatility. Although most coffee trades
in the commodity market, coffee of the quality sought by the Company tends to
trade on a negotiated basis at a substantial premium above commodity coffee
pricing, depending upon the supply and demand at the time of purchase. Supply
and price can be affected by multiple factors in the producing countries,
including weather, political and economic conditions. In addition, green coffee
prices have been affected in the past, and may be affected in the future, by the
actions of certain organizations and associations, such as the International
Coffee Organization and the Association of Coffee Producing Countries, which
have historically attempted to influence commodity prices of green coffee
through agreements establishing export quotas or restricting coffee supplies
worldwide.

Green coffee commodity prices are subject to substantial price fluctuations,
generally a result of reports of adverse growing conditions in certain
coffee-producing countries. Due to green coffee commodity price increases, the
Company effected sales price increases during fiscal 1994 and 1995 to mitigate
the effects of anticipated increases in its cost of goods sold. Because the
Company had established fixed purchase prices for some of its supply of green
coffees, the Company's margins were favorably impacted by such sales price
increases during much of fiscal 1995. During the latter part of fiscal 1995 and
throughout fiscal 1996, gross margins were negatively impacted relative to the
prior year by the sell-through of higher-cost coffee inventories. The Company
expects to have sold most of these higher-cost coffees by the end of the first
quarter of fiscal 1997.

The Company enters into fixed price purchase commitments in order to secure an
adequate supply of quality green coffee and fix costs for future periods. As of
September 29, 1996, the Company had approximately $47 million in fixed price
purchase commitments which, together with existing inventory, is expected to
provide an adequate supply of green coffee well into fiscal 1997. The Company
believes, based on relationships established with its suppliers in the past,
that the risk of non-delivery on such purchase commitments is remote.

In addition, the Company may from time to time purchase coffee futures contracts
to provide additional price protection when it is not able to enter into fixed
price purchase commitments. There can be no assurance that these activities will
successfully protect the Company against the risks of increases in coffee prices
or that they will not
   6
result in the Company having to pay substantially more for its supply than it
would have been required to pay absent such activities. The Company did not
engage in any hedging activities or futures contracts in fiscal 1996.

Specialty foods, such as pastries, are generally purchased from local sources
based on quality and price. Items bearing the Company's logos and trademarks are
purchased under contract. Hardware items, such as coffee makers, are generally
purchased directly from manufacturers.

COMPETITION. The Company's whole bean coffees compete directly against specialty
coffees sold at retail through supermarkets, specialty retailers, and a growing
number of specialty coffee stores. The Company's coffee beverages compete
directly against all restaurant and beverage outlets that serve coffee and a
growing number of espresso stands, carts, and stores. Both the Company's whole
bean coffees and its coffee beverages compete indirectly against all other
coffees on the market. The Company believes that its customers choose among
retailers primarily on the basis of quality and convenience, and, to a lesser
extent, on price.

Management believes that supermarkets pose the greatest competitive challenge in
the whole bean coffee market, in part because supermarkets offer customers the
convenience of not having to make a separate trip to the Company's stores. A
number of nationwide coffee manufacturers, such as Kraft General Foods, Procter
& Gamble, and Nestle, are distributing premium coffee products in supermarkets,
which products may serve as substitutes for the Company's coffees. Regional
specialty coffee companies also sell whole bean coffees in supermarkets.

In addition, the Company competes for whole bean coffee sales with franchise
operators and independent specialty coffee stores in both the United States and
Canada. There are a number of competing specialty coffee retailers, such as
Second Cup, a Canadian franchisor with stores primarily in Canada. Second Cup
also owns Gloria Jeans, a franchisor of specialty coffee stores, with locations
primarily in malls throughout the United States. In addition, in virtually every
major metropolitan area where Starbucks operates and expects to expand, there
are local or regional competitors with substantial market presence in the
specialty coffee business.

The Company's primary competitors for beverage sales are restaurants, shops, and
street carts. In almost all markets in which the Company does business there has
been a significant increase in competition in the specialty coffee beverage
business and management expects this trend to continue. Although competition in
the beverage market is currently fragmented, a major competitor with
substantially greater financial, marketing and operating resources than the
Company could enter this market at any time and compete directly against the
Company.

In addition, the Company competes with established suppliers in its specialty
sales and direct response businesses, many of whom have greater financial and
marketing resources than the Company. The Company also expects that competition
for suitable sites for new stores to support the Company's planned growth will
be intense. The Company competes against both restaurants and other specialty
retailers for these sites, and there can be no assurance that management will be
able to continue to secure adequate sites at acceptable rent levels. The Company
also competes for qualified personnel to operate its retail stores.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS. The Company owns and/or has applied to
register numerous trademarks and service marks in the United States, Canada and
in some sixty countries throughout the world. One of the Company's subsidiaries,
The Coffee Connection, Inc. ("The Coffee Connection"), also owns a number of
trademarks and service marks in the United States, Canada and elsewhere,
including registrations for "The Coffee Connection" name and logo. Some of the
Company's trademarks, including "Starbucks," the Starbucks logo and
"Frappuccino," are of material importance to the Company. Trademarks are
generally valid as long as they are in use and/or their registrations are
properly maintained, and they have not been found to have become generic.
Trademark registrations can generally be renewed indefinitely so long as the
marks are in use.
   7
The Company owns numerous copyrights for its product packaging, promotional
materials, in-store graphics, and training materials, among other things. The
Company also holds patents on certain products and systems. While valuable,
individual copyrights and patents currently held by the Company are not viewed
as material to the Company's business.

SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS. The Company's business is subject to seasonal
fluctuations. Significant portions of the Company's net revenues and profits are
realized during the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year which includes
the December holiday season. In addition, quarterly results are affected by the
timing of the opening of new stores, and the Company's rapid growth may conceal
the impact of other seasonal influences. Because of the seasonality of the
Company's business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

EMPLOYEES. As of September 29, 1996, the Company employed approximately 16,600
individuals, including approximately 15,000 in retail stores and regional
offices, and the remainder in the Company's administrative, sales, real estate,
direct response, roasting, and warehousing operations. As of September 29, 1996,
five of the Company's stores (out of a total of 929 Company-operated stores in
North America), located in Vancouver, British Columbia, were unionized.
Starbucks has never experienced a strike or work stoppage, and the Company
believes that its relations with its employees are excellent.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. Some of the information in this Form 10-K, including
anticipated store openings, planned capital expenditures, and trends in the
Company's operations, are forward-looking statements which are subject to risks
and uncertainties. Actual future results and trends may differ materially
depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, coffee and
other raw material prices and availability, successful execution of internal
performance and expansion plans, impact of competition, availability of
financing, legal proceedings, and other risks detailed in the Company's
Securities and Exchange Commission filings and the documents incorporated by
reference therein.

Item 2.  Properties

Starbucks currently operates three roasting and distribution facilities: two in
the Seattle area, and one in East Manchester Township, York County,
Pennsylvania. In the Seattle area, the Company leases approximately 92,000
square feet in one building located in Seattle, Washington, pursuant to a lease
extendible through 2009 (the "Seattle Plant"), and owns an additional roasting
plant and distribution facility of approximately 305,000 square feet located in
Kent, Washington. The Company has a lease agreement with York County Industrial
Development Corporation for a roasting and distribution facility (the "York
Plant"), providing for approximately 365,000 square feet initially. The lease
has a 15 year term and the Company has an option to purchase the land and
building within five years of the date of occupancy. Such option to purchase
also provides that the Company may purchase, within seven years of occupancy,
additional land adjacent to the York Plant which would expand it to 1,000,000
square feet. The Company is party to a letter of intent and a commitment letter
which provide that in the event that the Company exercises its option to
purchase the York Plant, the Company will have the right to assume loans
incurred in connection with the development of it. The Company has determined
that it no longer needs its much-smaller roasting plant located in Boston (which
formerly operated as the roasting plant for The Coffee Connection) and has
sublet it to a third party. The lease on this facility runs through 2002.

The Company leases approximately 302,000 square feet used for administrative
offices in Seattle, Washington, and has options to lease approximately 298,000
additional square feet. The Company owns 2.36 acres (102,800 square feet) of
undeveloped land adjacent to the Seattle Plant, which is currently used for
parking.

As of September 29, 1996, Starbucks operated a total of 929 retail stores. All
Starbucks stores are located in leased premises. The Company also leases office
space for regional, district and other administrative offices.
