Beer and Wine at Starbucks? Coming Next Year to Chicago
Trying to boost evening traffic to their stores, Starbucks will begin offering beer and wine, along with new options like cured meats in Chicago by the end of 2012.
Starbucks Corp CEO Howard Schultz, decrying a lack of leadership in Washington, said his chain of coffee shops is helping to launch a nationwide fund designed to stimulate U.S. job creation. The fund, seeded with a $5 million donation, is a partnership with a group of private financial institutions.
Starbucks Corp CEO Howard Schultz, decrying a lack of leadership in Washington, said his chain of coffee shops is helping to launch a nationwide fund designed to stimulate U.S. job creation.
The fund, seeded with a $5 million donation from the Starbucks Foundation, is a partnership with a group of private financial institutions that normally provide affordable loans to low-income people and communities.
As of November 1, the fund will accept donations at CreateJobsforUSA.org and at Starbucks cafes in the US. Donors who give $5 or more will get a wristband inscribed with the word "Indivisible."
