Starbucks is hoping to create more inclusive environments.
The company says it will add a thousand Starbucks Community Stores, which are led by employees who directly connect to the initiative or cause of that store.
The stores strive to “provide programming and experiences that support economic opportunity in communities and create pathways to opportunity for employees.”
Some will serve under-resourced and vulnerable communities, while others will seek to help farmers, youth, women or military communities.
