=== Response to Russian invasion of Ukraine ===
Following the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]], a number of companies have faced growing pressure to halt operations in Russia, but have not yet done so. This includes Starbucks. On March 4, Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson stated that the company has no business operations in Ukraine, but does have 130 licensed Starbucks locations in Russia that are wholly owned by a "licensed partner". While Johnson did not comment on their future, he condemned the Russian invasion and did say that the company "will donate any royalties we receive from our business operations in Russia to humanitarian relief efforts for Ukraine".<ref name=":14">{{Cite news |last=Creswell |first=Julie |date=March 5, 2022 |title=Fast-food chains and food producers stay open in Russia, and mostly quiet about Ukraine. |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/05/world/europe/russia-food-ukraine.html |access-date=March 6, 2022 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref><ref name=":12">{{Cite web |title=Ukraine invasion: Attention turns to McDonald's and crypto exchanges, yet to take a stand against Russia |url=https://news.sky.com/story/attention-turns-to-mcdonalds-and-cryptocurrency-exchanges-as-holdouts-in-russia-exodus-12557535 |access-date=March 6, 2022 |website=Sky News |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=March 5, 2022 |title=For many Washington state businesses, the war in Ukraine means tough choices about Russia |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/business/for-many-washington-state-businesses-the-war-in-ukraine-means-tough-choices/ |access-date=March 6, 2022 |website=The Seattle Times |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Letter to Partners from Kevin Johnson on Ukraine |url=https://stories.starbucks.com/press/2022/letter-to-partners-from-kevin-johnson-on-ukraine/ |access-date=March 6, 2022 |website=Starbucks Stories |language=en-us}}</ref>
