So you want to own a Starbucks. Here's the problem. You can't. Not the way you're picturing it. There is no traditional franchise, no application to open your own standalone store, and almost nobody outside the industry knows the one real path in. In this breakdown: why Starbucks only licenses locations inside airports, grocery stores, and universities, why you become a customer of Starbucks' own supply chain on every item behind your counter, the real cost to get in, and why your biggest revenue driver, foot traffic, is a decision you never actually get to make.    • The Economics of Owning a KFC Franchise      • The Economics of Owning a Subway Franchise   #starbucks #franchise #businessbreakdown
