Surely Starbucks have more employees than that? Are they all franchised or something?

If it's 400,000 employees, that means at least one in every thousand Americans works for the company.

There is a world outside the USA.

As an American, I knew Starbucks was international, but it's to a greater extent than I'd realized.

World-famous coffeehouse chain, Starbucks, accounted for 35,711 stores worldwide in 2022. There were more international stores than those located in the company's home nation of the United States. These figures amounted to 19,838 and 15,873, respectively.

Just sharing this here in case anyone else is interested lol.

I also didn't realize there were so many Starbucks shops outside the US (it was founded in the US, and I thought it was majority domestic). I get the "world outside America" annoyance, but it's an American fast food chain, so I don't think it's unreasonable for someone who has only lived in North America to assume it's still that way. Dunkin Donuts has about 9500 stores in the US and 3000 abroad (despite opening a store in Japan one year before Starbucks opened its first in Seattle, Washington), for comparison. And Dunkin coffee tastes MUCH better than Starbucks, so I don't understand the international appeal (or national appeal, for that matter, but I am only one man with an opinion).

I did the actual math without assumptions this time, and about one in 2000 Americans work for Starbucks, which is still astonishing, and well within the same order of magnitude.
