Despite this wide array of products, Starbucks founder Howard Schultz, in February 2007, decided to close 600 Starbucks stores.This paper examines several reasons that may be advanced for the company's decline, concluding that it would not have happened if Starbucks had stayed in their original form of combining the exclusive cafe with the friendly atmosphere and staff, and above all, good quality coffee. The paper then goes on to explore the changes that the company has made in its marketing strategy since the decline in 2007 as well as the risks and potential benefits from competition, such as best practice examples of marketing in other countries, specifically in Greece.
