The Starbucks Universe: By the Numbers (and a Little Sass) Let's start with the big picture. As of 2024, Starbucks boasts a staggering 38,137 stores worldwide. That's more than most countries have libraries, probably. Of those, 16,482 are nestled in the good ol' US of A, while a whopping 21,655 are scattered across the globe. Imagine trying to visit them all! You'd need a lifetime supply of frequent flyer miles and an iron stomach.
And speaking of the US, let's zoom in on the state-by-state breakdown. California, unsurprisingly, reigns supreme with a mind-boggling 3,115 Starbucks locations. That’s 18.9% of the entire US total! You could practically throw a scone and hit one. What's even more astounding is that California has 1.2x more Starbucks than middle and high schools. Think about that for a second. Are we educating our youth or fueling their caffeine addictions? Vermont, bless its sparsely populated heart, brings up the rear with a measly 12 stores. I guess they prefer maple syrup to mocha.
Now, let's talk about the global stage. China takes the crown for the most international Starbucks locations, boasting 6,806 stores. Clearly, the Chinese have embraced the siren song of Starbucks, perhaps trading tea ceremonies for venti lattes.
The Human Element: Who's Making Your Drink? It's not just about the beans and the locations; it's about the people behind the counter. In the US, Starbucks employs around 228,000 individuals. Demographically speaking, the workforce is predominantly White (48.1%) and female (71.4%). The average yearly salary is $32,168, which translates to $17.42 per hour. While that might sound decent, consider the cost of living in major cities where many Starbucks are located. Are baristas truly living the high life, or are they just scraping by, fueled by caffeine and the occasional customer compliment?
The Menu: A Statistical Breakdown of Your Caffeine Fix Let's face it; we're all here for the drinks. Starbucks serves an estimated 5 million drinks daily in the US alone. That's a lot of caffeine coursing through the veins of America. The Caramel Macchiato reigns supreme as the top-selling hot coffee drink. I mean, who can resist that sweet, syrupy goodness?
But what about the nutritional breakdown? If you're looking for the most caffeinated kick, the Grande Featured Blond Roast packs a punch with 360mg of caffeine. Need a sugar rush? The Caramel Apple Spice clocks in at a whopping 70g of sugar. And if you're counting calories (which, let's be honest, most of us are), the Iced Chai Tea Latte with Oleato Golden Foam will set you back 510 calories. On the flip side, if you're trying to be health-conscious (at Starbucks, really?), the Chai Tea, Earl Grey Tea, Emperor’s Clouds & Mist, and Iced Black Tea are your best bets, boasting zero sugar, calories, and fat.
