Conclusion
• Starbucks has been increasing its debt every year,
and at a pace that is faster than their assets are
growing (which is clearly unhealthy).
• The firm needs to slow down its expansion and to
focus more on marketing their products. Starbucks
needs to focus on increasing consumer awareness
and to decrease debt as much as possible.
• Starbucks can become even more profitable if they
slow down their expansion and concentrate on the
stores that they already have open.
