haha I work there and am called a "partner" but that's because starbucks started having "bean stock" for full time employees so you sort of own part of it.

You're all wrong! Starbucks does not franchise, as a matter of fact. Starbucks is a corporation. You can get more info here:

derailedjet is the most correct person, but he's still wrong.


   
Starbucks does not franchise operations and has no plans to franchise in the foreseeable future. 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

Coffee shop chains in general would not do well as a franchise.
