Starbucks also sells coffee and tea products and licenses its trademark through other channels and the company produces and sells bottled Frappuccino coffee drinks and Starbucks DoubleShot espresso drink and a line of ice creams.

By providing a unique atmosphere, the customers enjoy the time they spend in the stores. The interior design and the smell of coffee are the most important aspects that support the company’s storeconcept.
