I was reading an article in a travel/business magazine called "Condo Neste Portfolio" until my mom yelled at me for something. I am going to Turkey with her tomorrow. Where are the nerve pills when you need them?The article was about Howard Schultz, the founder and CEO of Starbucks. He is one of the few politically-progressive kazillionaires in the world, and for that one must profoundly admire him.
But, Starbucks is taking over the world quicker than Ming the Merciless took over the universe in "Flash Gordon" though somehow the small town I live in North Carolina does not have a Starbucks. (We did get a cool coffee shop a few months ago, though!)
Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and New Delhi are always without a Starbucks (I forgot to look up Baghdad.)
However, that is not the case with most towns!
I posted an entry last year that there were some 39 Starbucks in the greater Istanbul area. Well, that number has gone up!
Here is a list of Starbucks locations in various cities in America and around the world. If we left out your town, our sincere apologies. In the meantime, kick back and enjoy a cold frappucino.
Oh in case anyone was wondering that is Britney Spears in this photo.
