Starbucks Corporation filings document material events, operating results, governance matters, and corporate transactions for the Nasdaq-listed coffee company. Recent Form 8-K reports furnish quarterly earnings releases covering comparable store sales, revenue, margins, segment performance, and store portfolio disclosures across the company’s global coffeehouse operations.
The filing record also includes Regulation FD disclosures on the completed China retail joint venture, annual meeting voting results, a definitive proxy statement covering director elections, executive compensation and auditor ratification, and amended officer-transition disclosures. These documents record Starbucks’ governance structure, shareholder voting matters, executive leadership changes, and transaction-related disclosures tied to its international retail operations.
Starbucks Corporation moved its China retail operations to a licensed joint-venture model in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, transferring 7,991 company-operated coffeehouses to licensed operations through its joint venture with Boyu Capital. As of September 27, 2026, Starbucks had 13,397 company-operated coffeehouses and 28,210 licensed coffeehouses, 41,607 total. During fiscal 2026, 266 and 250 coffeehouses were closed under restructuring plans announced in the fourth quarters of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026, respectively.
Company-operated coffeehouses accounted for 82% of fiscal 2026 net revenues, and licensed coffeehouses accounted for 12%. North America generated 76% of total net revenues, International 18%, and Channel Development 6%. Starbucks says the China transition replaced recording the operations’ revenues and expenses with its share of joint-venture income under the equity method of accounting, and expects the change to result in lower revenues and higher operating margin than the historical company-operated model.

Starbucks Corporation approved further actions under its “Back to Starbucks” strategy, which focuses on revitalizing coffeehouses, enhancing the customer experience and strengthening its coffeehouse portfolio. The company will close approximately 1% of its more than 18,000 North America coffeehouses that do not deliver the brand’s expected experience and financial performance. It expects most closures to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2026.
Starbucks expects approximately $300 million in restructuring charges: approximately $200 million in cash charges, primarily for lease exit costs and employee separation benefits, and $100 million in non-cash charges from disposal and impairment of company-operated coffeehouse assets. A significant portion of the charges is expected in fiscal year 2026. Full-year fiscal 2026 net new global company-operated and licensed openings are expected to be approximately 440, compared with prior guidance of 600 to 650. The outlook reflects approximately 250 North America closures, partially offset by higher net new openings in International markets. Starbucks says it continues to see significant longer-term growth opportunity in North America and is developing a pipeline of new coffeehouses.
