As probably most people know, Starbucks was founded in Seattle in 1971. According to Wikipedia:
Starbucks is the largest coffeehouse company in the world, with 16,120 stores in 49 countries, including around 11,000 in the United States, followed by nearly 1,000 in Canada and more than 800 in Japan. From 1971–1976, the first Starbucks was at 2000 Western Avenue; it then was relocated to 1912 Pike Place (in the Market), where it remains to this day.I see at least 20 different Starbucks locations in any given week. So I thought it would be interesting to see exactly how many are close to where we live.
I searched the Starbucks website and found that there are 103 Starbucks within 5 miles of where we live and only 4 within 5 miles of where my parents live in Fort Worth, which I thought was crazy.
We have 61 stores within 2 miles of where we live, but my parents have none that close, which is almost even more impressive.
We actually don't go to Starbucks that often. Lately the only reason we've been going is because I got a gift card for Christmas, which I've been using to get "Awake" tea.

I saw on the news tonight that Starbucks is going to start selling beer and wine, and their test market is going to be in Seattle. I can't believe there are that many so close to y'all!
