Starbucks Chairman and CEO Howard Schultz will leave his post as the company's chief executive, the company said Thursday.
Schultz will become the company's executive chairman, and current President and COO Kevin Johnson will become Starbucks' next CEO.
The changes will take place on April 3, the company said.
Starbucks shares dipped more than 3 percent in after-hours trading following the news of the planned leadership transition.
"As I focus on Starbucks next wave of retail innovation, I am delighted that Kevin Johnson — our current president, COO, a seven-year board member and my partner in running every facet of Starbucks business over the last two years — has agreed to assume the duties of Starbucks chief executive officer. This move ideally positions Starbucks to continue profitably growing our core business around the world into the future," Schultz said in a news release.

I’m getting TIRED of winning.....sorta.
Gives him more time to rape little boys.
Starbuck’s perks the nastiest coffee in the USA. Who buys that stuff?
Normally I’d say they peaked, but there are plenty of examples where a founder retires and the business continues to win share.
McDonalds, Apple, Walmart
They're playing Musical Golden Parachutes.
Well...bye.
For some reason I’m watching this over and over again.
And, no, I’m not tired of winning.
Same people that buy hop-stink beers?
Yeah, but how many coffee shops can there be. They must be saturated (!) by now.
I’ve looked carefully, but cannot rule him out of this:

Still not going to patronize them.
Yup. No change,
Buy Dunkin Donuts - much better. leave the coffee shop sipping of Starsucks to the libs.
???
Starbucks contributes to abortuaries.
Are sales down after he decided to insult half his customer base?
Will he be replaced by someone not hostile to traditional values, or will the new boss be the same as the old boss?
yea!
now if we can only get them to rid us of their creepy logo.
Please, don't get me started on that.
The "I" in IPA stands for "India". Why anyone would resurrect a beer whose sole hopped-up reason was to survive a sailing voyage to the sub-continent in semi-drinkable condition is beyond me.
;-)
I just can’t wrap my head around a $6.00 cup of coffee. Especially when it benefits a raging ass liberal!!!
