In North America, the majority of our stores are Company-operated. As an exception, Starbucks may enter into licensing arrangements with companies who provide access to real estate which would otherwise be unavailable such as airport locations, national grocery chains, major food services corporations, college and university campuses and hospitals http://www.starbucks.com.sg/moby/cms/aboutus/starbucks_business.html espresso8097 Posted at 7:15 pm on Feb. 11, 2007 Corporation AtomicCactus Posted at 6:24 pm on Feb. 11, 2007 Publicly traded corporation. http://quotes.nasdaq.com/asp/SummaryQuote.asp?symbol=SBUX&selected=SBUX MAYRAAKAKOOKIE Posted at 5:27 pm on Feb. 11, 2007 Franchise derailedjet Posted at 5:18 pm on Feb. 11, 2007 You're all wrong!
