When did Starbucks start offering breakfast?
Starbucks ventured into breakfast offerings in the early 2000s when other fast-food chains enhanced their coffee selections. The first breakfast items – simple egg and cheese sandwiches – were introduced in Portland in 2003. The rollout was gradual at first but in 2006 it expanded to around 600 stores. Despite mixed reviews and the frozen nature of the SBUX sandwiches, they were a quick success – adding 3% revenue increase per year.
In 2012, Starbucks acquired the La Boulange bakery brand which they used to enhance the Starbucks lunch secret menu. This period saw the introduction of various new items, including the popular sous vide egg bites and the turkey bacon, cheddar, and egg white sandwich. Despite many changes, Starbucks has maintained its reputation for offering convenient grab-and-go breakfast options.
