Starbucks ceo Howard Schultz tells all U.S. Store Managers, “We will become the best version of Starbucks by co-creating our future directly as partners. And we will strengthen the Starbucks community by upholding each other’s dreams."

Howard Schultz, who returned to Starbucks as chief executive officer on April 4, is meeting with partners around the U.S. and China this week.

“It is a return, and a new beginning,” said Schultz on his first day back as Starbucks ceo. “I have big dreams for all of us, even bigger than before.”

“We all have a stake in our future. It is something we all share. And this serves as an invitation to come build it,” Howard Schultz wrote in a letter to Starbucks partners, customers and shareholders.

“I am proud to once again put on the green apron in service of our company, advancing our mission to connect with one another and our customers,” wrote Howard Schultz.
