After concentrating solely on the North American market for a considerable amount of time, Starbucks decided to branch out internationally.

Sazaby, Inc., owners of upmarket retail and restaurant businesses, was contacted by Starbucks. The 50/50 agreement was reached after carefully weighing Starbucks' and Sazaby's shared values, cultures, and community-development objectives.

Starbucks Coffee Japan achieved profitability more than two years before schedule in the fiscal year 2000.
