Starbucks Company is a United States of America based coffee firm that was established in 1971 in Seattle, Washington. As of November 2016, Starbucks Corporation had its operations in more than 60 countries across the world. According to Sisson, Sisson, Bowen, and Bowen (2017), Starbucks is considered to be the principal representative of "second wave coffee," originally differentiating itself from other coffee-serving orgaizations by flavor, superiority, and customer experience while promoting the darkly roasted coffee. Since early 2000, the manufacturers of the "third wave coffee" have directed their effort and developed an interest in the value-minded coffee takers. While shifting their energy towards the value-minded coffee takers, the producers use the hand-made coffee, centered on brighter roasts. With this notwithstanding, Starbucks currently uses automatic espresso equipment for effectiveness and protection.
All the locations for Starbucks serve both the cold and hot beverages, micro-ground prepared coffee called VIA, whole-bean coffee, full- and loose-leaf tea, which comprises of Teavana tea foodstuffs. Starbucks also serves Frappuccino beverages, Evolution Fresh juices, and snacks that include things such as crackers and chips. According to Susanty and Kenny (2015), some gifts, which include the firm's yearly fall promotion of the Pumpkin Spice Latte are periodic or particular to the location of the coffee's store. Several stores sell foodstuff that they prepare in advance, cold and hot snacks, and drinkware that comprise of jugs and beakers. A few localities of "Starbucks Evenings" provide appetizers, wine, and beer. Other foodstuffs that Starbucks offer in its grocery stores are ice cream, bottled cold coffee drinks, and Starbucks-make coffee.

Starbucks started making its first profits in Seattle, Washington in the early 1980s. In spite of an initial economic depression with its growth and expansion into the British Columbia and the Midwest in the late 1980s, the enterprise saw a rejuvenated success with its entrance to California in the early 1990s. The original Starbucks grocery store outside North America started operations in 1996 in Tokyo, Japan. Foreign assets now constitute nearly 30% of its supplies. People attribute this growth to the business's aggressiveness in the opening of an average of two fresh food stores every day between 1987 and 2007.
Colossal capital business concerns such as Starbucks Organization, which has a market capitalization of $78,550 Million, are much sought after by investors who are risk-averse. The risk taker entrepreneurs find diversified income sources and stable capital yields more comforting than volatile growth ability, which is why they choose Starbucks.
Although Starbucks is a considerable capital business firm, its debt-to-equity ratio is not appealing. As a rule of thumb, an economically stable large capital company must have a debt-to-equity rate of less than 40%. In the case of Starbucks, the debt-to-equity ratio is 67.28%, which shows that the organization's debt can result into problems for the business, but it is still at a level that is manageable. According to Garg and Garg (2017), the institution can pay back its debt through the cash generated from its business operations, which is not a concern for big enterprises. Starbucks's latest operating cash flow surpassed its debt responsibilities within the previous year. This performance means that the company makes enough cash in a year through its business to settle its short-term debt. Therefore, debt poses a nearly unnecessary risk for the firm.
