Starbucks Corporation and its subsidiaries operate as a roaster, marketer, and retailer of specialty coffee worldwide, serving customers through company-operated and licensed stores and other channels. It sells coffee and tea beverages, roasted coffee products, ready-to-drink items, and food products across its North America, International, and Channel Development segments, with products also distributed via licensed trademark partners.
Starbucks roasts and markets specialty coffee and also runs and licenses retail coffee stores, selling coffee and tea beverages, roasted coffee, single-serve and ready-to-drink products, plus food items like pastries and sandwiches, and it makes money primarily from segment retail and also from licensing its trademarks and supplying grocery and foodservice accounts.
Starbucks' revenue (and therefore profit potential) is structurally driven by selling beverages and food through its main retail markets (especially North America), with a second monetization stream coming from licensing its trademarks and supplying grocery and foodservice customers through Channel Development, so the mix between core retail sales and licensed or supplied product sales matters.
