Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz will step down from his position at the company within the next month. This decision comes after the company’s pledge to hire 10,000 refugees to protest President Trump’s temporary travel halt.
The Daily Mail reports that Howard Schultz will step down from his position as CEO of Starbucks next month. He will continue as executive chairman of the company. Schultz will be replaced as CEO by Starbucks President and Chief Operating Officer Kevin Johnson, who will assume the position of CEO on April 3rd.
In the announcement of his decision to step down as CEO, Schultz stated that he “will shift his focus to innovation, design, and development of Starbucks Reserve Roasteries around the world, expansion of the Starbucks Reserve retail store format and the company’s social impact initiatives and focus on Starbucks next wave of retail innovation.”

Starbucks board learns a lot faster than Targets board.
Every liberal is a totalitarian thug.

Looks like Breitbart is getting as bad as the Daily Mail.
Schultz announced his retirement a month before he made his comment about hiring refugees. The two have nothing to do with each other.
We don’t need fake news on our side.
After this most recent resounding stock price and brand image success, I'm sure the shareholders can't wait for his next retail innovation.

Another Trump scalp.

Amen
To the next 50 posters - as much as we would love to take credit for our boycott of Starbucks the man already announced his departure before the refugee comments.
With that said, I hope Starbucks does pay a price for this stupidity, but they have been and will always be a company run by leftists.
Buh Bye a-hole ... go join Krappyneck in the unemployment line
Next...
Yep!
Yup. Totally.
I sure hope Kevin Johnson is an Immigrant.
The Daily Mail has altered the original headline for that story. Breitbart was too quick on the draw.
Yes they must hire a refugee as his replacement.
So you think making a fool of yourself is a good recipe for success?
Who cares? Breitbart knows how to write headlines.
Heck of a job, Howard!
