Therefore, more customers are able to gain quality brand Starbucks coffee through various avenues now such as supermarkets and outside of the actual physical Starbucks location without having to leave the comforts of their homes (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). Furthermore, the increased number of drive-through windows at some locations caused customers to lose interest as in many cases this took away from people coming into the actual facilities to sit and enjoy their fresh coffee.In addition, the utilization of the drive-through windows were only offered at some locations and not all. Moreover, some stores had greater offerings than other actual Starbucks locations and therefore some consumers lost interest because they essentially had to travel farther to the locations to gain in-store food and certain products that were not offered at their frequently visited location.

They were inspired to sell high quality coffee beans and coffee roasting equipment from a man who taught them how to roast coffee beans. However in 1987, the original owners sold the coffee chain to a former employee named Howard Schultz.

In 1992, Starbucks had 104 outlets with a revenue of USD$ 73.5 million up from USD$ 1.3 million in 1987 and as of today, Starbucks total asset value is USD$ 11.5 billion (2013).

Everyday that we go shopping we want to buy our daily coffee and think where would the best place to be to to buy our favorite coffee products.Starbucks is a major coffee company that we have in America as well as being expanded around the world. By using the SWOT analysis we noticed how Starbucks is falling apart and what can be used to make the company the way that it is set up.

The company is termed as the largest coffeehouse in the world with a total of over sixteen thousand store outlets in a total of forty-nine countries (Schultz, and Jones, 1999). The company has invested heavily in the production of drip-brewed coffee, hot and cold drinks, mugs and coffee beans, and espresso-based hot drinks (Jang, and Jung, 2013).

Starbucks has a majority of its locations inside the United States of America. They should look to generate more profit from their international locations in order to spread the business risk. Starbucks also has a dependence on their beverage innovations. Their US store’s sales growth has been driven by innovation, this may falter over time, and have seriously adverse effects on the company’s performance. The company is dependent on their main competitive advantage, the retailing of coffee. Their competitive advantage is being infringed upon more now than ever and this could make them slow to diversify into other interests. Starbucks has also been facing problems in some of their international locations. The difficulties include a number of failed store openings, cancellation of some of their joint ventures, and cultural differences. The ending of some of its joint ventures has caused others in the same region to end the relationship with Starbucks also, affecting the growth prospects in these regions. There have also been some problems with their retail outlets in China, which ended in removing Starbucks from some locations in China. Starbucks has begun to undermine its own image. They had taken out their hand-operated machines and replaced them with automatic machines to speed
