Howard Schultz is recognized among Jewish contributors to Economics & Business — Built Starbucks from eleven Seattle stores into the world's coffeehouse — the 'third place' between home and work.
Born to Ashkenazi Jewish parents, Fred and Elaine Schultz, and raised in the Canarsie public-housing projects of Brooklyn, Howard Schultz was the first in his family to graduate from college. He joined a small Seattle coffee-bean shop called Starbucks, was seized in Milan by the idea of the espresso bar as a gathering place, bought the company in 1987 and built it into the world's coffeehouse — tens of thousands of stores serving the 'third place' between home and work, with employee health care and stock for baristas that his father, a truck driver broken by uninsured injury, never had.
