16. Regional Operations Profile Usa

17. USA Operations • Starbucks Corporation is an international coffeehouse that has built one of the world's most powerful and recognizable brands upon high-quality coffee and the unique "Starbucks Experience." • Starbucks has sought to capitalize on its growing popularity through expansion; the addition of over 1,500 stores in just over a year brought its total store count to over 16,600 in 2008. In fiscal 2008, the company's stores (retailer and licensed) generated US$ 10.4 billion in revenue

18. USA Operations • Self-Cannibalization Risk An additional challenge facing Starbucks may be its own dominance - with a Starbucks on every street corner in some parts of its core U.S. market and an average of 8.5 new locations opened weekly in the country.

19. USA Operations • Self-Cannibalization Starbucks percentage of new stores growth In 1999 it had 2,000 stores but in 2007 it was pushing a 10,000 company owned stores mark. Let’s put this in perspective: in 1999 Starbucks opened 447 stores - 1.8 stores per working day; in 2007 that number more than tripled to 1,403 stores a year - 5.5 stores per working day.

20. USA Operations Economic Recession With the current economic conditions, Starbucks faces significant headwinds. While past concerns over commodities prices, particularly coffee beans and milk, have subsided, a shift in consumer spending triggered by a global economic recession may decrease sales in the coffeehouse market in general.

22. USA Operations

23. USA Operations Starbucks has set the following financial and operational targets for fiscal 2010: • The company is targeting revenue growth in the low-to-mid single digits, driven by modestly positive comparable store sales, a 53rd fiscal week, and approximately 300 planned net new stores. • Starbucks is targeting approximately 100 net new stores in the U.S. and approximately 200 net new stores in International markets. Both the U.S. and International net new additions are expected to be primarily licensed stores.

24. USA Operations • Starbucks outlook on the U.S. operating margin has further improved; the company is now targeting full-year operating margin improvements for both the U.S. segment and the International segment (excluding restructuring charges) of 200 to 250 basis points.

The cumulative result of these expected margins is a consolidated non-GAAP operating margin that is anticipated to reach double digits. • Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $500 million to $550 million. Approximately half of this amount will be allocated to renovations and store equipment upgrades, one quarter to systems upgrades, and one quarter to new stores and other capital investments. • Starbucks expects cash flow from operations to be approximately $1.4 billion, and free cash flow of approximately $900 million.

25. Regional Operations Profile Japan

26. Japan Operations • For the Japanese, tea is a traditional bracing drink during a day, although it does not mean that there is no demand for coffee. Japan is the 3rd biggest importer of coffee in the world(2008) => Japan a good market for coffee industries • Japan approach to Japanese’s life was a huge challenge for Starbucks. Different tastes, cultural like smoking and Japanese fluctuating economy made Starbucks to face real problems

27. Japan Operations The trend for smoking in Japan is well known. Many people smoke and expect to be able to smoke in the restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. Starbucks became a very popular place among non-smoking females who wanted to drink their coffee in peace away from smoke and crowd • Moreover, the policy of Starbucks was to be everywhere and do not let the customer to cross the street. What is more, people were surprised by the amount and location of Starbucks’ stores. The stores are located very close to themselves

28. Japan Operations • The Japanese perfection and hard-working, a huge market potential for coffee in Japan. Big population and fast lifestyle attract the Japanese to drink more coffee instead of tea which is already well known. Coffee company has to be well prepared and offer something more than just an average taste coffee • Starbucks had an experience on other non American markets and is known worldwide. The expansion was quite risky, Starbucks assumed that they do not have to localize Starbucks and its goods on the Japanese market

29. Japan Operations Starbucks Japan's fiscal Q1 pretax profit (quarter ended June 30) rose 9.4% to 1.32 billion yen ($11.1 million), driven mostly by expanded food sales. Its food menu was updated to match local tastes better, and also to capitalize on the fact that 80% of customers consume in-store, whereas the same percentage of customers take-out in the U.S. The main reason for Starbucks Japan's difficulties is due to intense competition coming not only from rival coffee shops, but also from convenience stores and vending machines. Japan is Starbuck's second largest market with 630 stores and plans for 1,000 by 2010

30. Japan Operations A "local" strategy it implemented last year has paid off nicely so far but why ruin a good thing by putting pressure on the firm to expand at that rate compared to its 50-75 new store range over the past two years. Starbucks Japan currently has 624 stores.

31. Japan Operations • The market is not quite saturated and the brand continues to grow. •  Besides the introduction of Japanese-style drinks, the company has significantly expanded its food offerings, including a special line of Wellness sandwiches.

37. conclusion

38. Conclusion Starbucks is going to be a larger company 3, 5, and 10 years from now. The main reason Starbucks will grow is because coffee and tea are both enormous markets, domestically and globally. Second, Starbucks has low penetration rates in terms of the number of locations it has, especially in the BRIC countries. Finally, Starbucks has nice potential for growth in packaged coffee, ready to make beverages, and the instant coffee markets, especially internationally. http://seekingalpha.com/article/172178-why-starbucks-will-grow
