We get this question all the time "How Much Does a Starbucks Franchise Cost?" The answer to this question is very simple. Starbucks actually isn't a "franchise." Starbucks claims to offer a variety of flexible coffee and tea "programs" (or stores) for a variety of different markets. Some of these markets include colleges & universities, healthcare, hotels & resorts and existing restaurants. They also will consider qualified high volume or high traffic retail locations, so if you qualify for any of the above, it may be worth a shot inquiring about opening a Starbucks franchise.
