Roy Street Coffee & Tea gives customers new opportunities for discovery, a high level of interaction, and a deep connection to the local community. It shares Starbucks mission and values, is pioneered by Starbucks partners, and offers Starbucks® whole bean coffee and Tazo® full-leaf tea, delivering the same high quality with the same heart.

This coffeehouse draws design inspiration from the surrounding performing arts culture and features locally sourced, reused and recycled materials that are one-of-a-kind. It’s currently registered for LEED® certification, and is the second Starbucks storefront to open as part of the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Volume Certification pilot program. Over the next six months, Starbucks will build or renovate a minimum of 10 pilot stores in six different bioregions around the world. This effort will help the company reach its goal of achieving LEED certification for all new company-owned stores worldwide beginning in late 2010.
 

Starbucks Coffee Company celebrates the holidays and gives customers an opportunity to shop at Starbucks and give back. For a limited time, customers can turn any purchase (RED)™ by spending $15 in a participating Starbucks store in the U.S. and Canada and Starbucks will contribute $1 U.S. to the Global Fund. As a thank you, while supplies last, customers will receive a complimentary “All You Need Is Love” limited time offer CD, featuring Starbucks and (RED)™ exclusive tracks from John Legend, U2, Dave Matthews Band and Playing for Change.

“We’re proud to offer Starbucks customers the chance to turn their daily purchase (RED) and be a part of making a significant contribution to the Global Fund,” said Howard Schultz, Starbucks chairman, president and ceo. “To date, less than a year after launching our partnership with (PRODUCT)^RED, Starbucks has generated contributions equaling more than 6 million daily doses of antiretroviral medicine through the purchase of select (STARBUCKS)^RED products to help those living with HIV in Africa.”

Starbucks Coffee Company announced today that it has introduced an updated consumer favorite packaged coffee – Gold Coast Blend® renamed Gold Coast Blend®: Morning Joe Edition – in grocery and mass market retail channels. The introduction of this updated coffee is the next step in the partnership between Starbucks Coffee Company and MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” announced earlier this year, and gives consumers a chance to experience a nice bold cup of coffee and learn more about taking steps to make a greater impact in their own communities. Starbucks and MSNBC are both committed to volunteering and giving back to local communities and believe that by working together with local volunteers, they can make an even bigger impact in neighborhoods from coast-to-coast.
