They provide a strong name brand in which everyone can recognize. Not to mention, they also provide a very strong, good cup of coffee at a reasonable price. Certainly not cheap, but definitely reasonable considering the quality of their product. Starbucks also provides a quick service for those on the go, with a great and friendly customer service team. All in all, pointing to a very successful business.

People need coffee/liquid crack in order to function. Most coffee tastes like crap. Starbucks made better coffee. End of story!

This might not touch all aspects but:
we're addicted to caffeine.

South American Cocaine Smugglers use coffee as a "cover" for their dastardly evil plan to get it to the seething masses clamoring for more and more of it as time goes by...

And you thought drinking coffee was guilt-free, didn't you?

"It's in the coffee, People! It's in the coffee!...

...Aaaggghhhhhhhh!"

they put a little extra something in there drinks

Starbucks’ strength lies in its ability to spot opportunities, even if
that means debunking accepted retail trends. Starbucks’ ability to think
outside the box is a common trait that propelled other small businesses to
the big league. </p>
<p>Starbucks has well demonstrated this behavior in their approach to real
estate, which in itself is legendary. Contrary to established tenets of
retailing, the company does not choose a location based solely on
demographics, traffic patterns, location of competitors, and even spacing of
its own stores. Instead, it clusters its stores in chosen areas, making
Starbucks ubiquitous in many city streets. Traditional retailing mindset
warns against locating stores nearby as it can cut sales at existing
outlets. </p>
<p>Starbucks went against the accepted norm and pursued clustering, using
this strategy to increase total revenue and market share. The risk paid off
– its practice of blanketing an area with stores helped achieve market
dominance quickly. The strategy also made it cheaper to deliver supplies and
manage each store. The size of the company has enabled it to absorb any
losses that would result from the cannibalizing of store sales when a new
one opens up nearby. </p>
