An antique store and furniture workshop. I think that's what I'd like to do when I retire; open up a little shop in Cape Cod.

Starbucks doesn't franchise out. Looks like they are corporate owned.
From their site -
"What we are all about Starbucks purchases and roasts high-quality whole bean coffees and sells them along with fresh, rich-brewed, Italian style espresso beverages, a variety of pastries and confections, and coffee-related accessories and equipment -- primarily through its company-operated retail stores. In addition to sales through its company-operated retail stores, Starbucks sells primarily whole bean coffees through a specialty sales group, a direct response business, supermarkets, and online at Starbucks.com. Additionally, Starbucks produces and sells bottled Frappuccino?coffee drink and a line of premium ice creams through its joint venture partnerships and offers a line of innovative premium teas produced by its wholly owned subsidiary, Tazo Tea Company. The Company's objective is to establish Starbucks as the most recognized and respected brand in the world.
To achieve this goal, the Company plans to continue to rapidly expand its retail operations, grow its specialty sales and other operations, and selectively pursue opportunities to leverage the Starbucks brand through the introduction of new products and the development of new distribution channels.

A protected route, one that you can modify to work for 3 days a week for 12 hours then have the rest off to frolic.
Good enough income for me.

Now there's a good choice, mine too! I'd only have to start making 100 times more beer at a time now. :beer:
