The small store initially sold just coffee beans and coffee making equipment. The name was inspired by the classic novel Moby Dick, evoked the romance of the high seas and the seafaring tradition of the early coffee traders.

He traveled to Italy in 1983 where he got impressed with the concept of coffee bars and the coffee culture. He wanted to replicate the same in United States but he couldn’t convince the owners.

In 1987, Schultz acquired Starbucks from its owners with the help of local investors and renamed the II Giornale coffeehouses to Starbucks.
