SEATTLE, US – In celebration of Starbucks 50th anniversary, Starbucks is inviting customers to bring in a clean, empty, reusable cup (up to 20 fl. oz.) into participating cafe locations in the U.S. on National Coffee Day, Sept. 29, to receive a free cup of Pike Place® Roast brewed coffee*. Starbucks is marking the milestone anniversary with customers to share how grateful the company is to be part of their communities and daily lives.
Pike Place Roast represents Starbucks decades of coffee roasting experience, knowledge and passion. Named after the location of the original store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market that opened in 1971, Pike Place Roast is Starbucks signature medium roast coffee served in stores everyday around the world.
Pike Place Roast was introduced in 2008 and was created using input from nearly 1,000 customers who spent almost 1,500 hours providing feedback on what’s important to them in a cup of coffee.
Master blenders and roasters at Starbucks then artfully created the coffee. The result is a smooth, well-rounded blend of Latin American coffees with subtly rich flavors of chocolate and toasted nuts.
Select Starbucks Reserve locations, including the Starbucks Reserve Roasteries in Seattle, Chicago and New York City, are also celebrating on National Coffee Day. On Sept. 29, customers who bring in a clean, empty reusable cup into those stores will receive a free Starbucks Reserve coffee or cold brew.**
To find a Starbucks cafe near you visit Starbucks.com/store-locator or the Starbucks Reserve store locator online for local hours and store information. Limit one free coffee per customer.
In honor of International Coffee Day (Oct. 1), Starbucks is also celebrating with its customers around the world. Starting Sept. 28 in select Asia Pacific markets, Starbucks customers can get a free limited-edition reusable cup in participating stores when they purchase any handcrafted beverage. In Japan on Oct. 1, customers can receive an increased discount of 110 yen when they bring in a reusable cup. In select Latin America markets on Oct. 1, customers can either get free brewed coffee when they purchase a reusable cup or a free cup when they purchase any handcrafted beverage. In Europe and the Middle East on Oct. 1, customers who bring in a clean, reusable cup at participating Starbucks stores will receive a free Autumn Blend beverage.
