About Starbucks Coffee Company

Starbucks Coffee Company is the world's leading coffeehouse chain, with over 38,000 locations globally, serving millions of customers daily. Founded in 1971 in Seattle, Washington, Starbucks has grown into a premium brand synonymous with high-quality coffee, exceptional customer service, and a welcoming third-place environment. In Virginia Beach, Virginia, our stores embody this legacy, offering handcrafted beverages, fresh food, and a community hub for locals. As a Shift Supervisor at Store# 18276 on Providence & Kempsville, you'll play a pivotal role in upholding our standards of excellence.
