Starbucks Military Family Store Dedications in New York, Texas and Delaware

During the month of August, Starbucks dedicated three Military Family Stores in Watertown, New York, San Antonio, Texas and Dover, Delaware. These stores are run primarily by veterans and military spouse. Each store works with a nonprofit partner in the community to provide services for veterans and their families. Starbucks now has eight Military Family Stores and plans to dedicate four additional stores by the end of September.

These unique stores are part of Starbucks commitment to hire 10,000 veterans and military spouses by the end of 2018, and honor their service.
