Bath - Old Bond Street, Bath, United Kingdom
	OPENED: 1999, PHOTO: 6/18/2009, ORIGINAL VISIT: 5/22/1999 One of the oldest stores in Britain, this one sits in a very old building in a very old and historic town that draws countless tourists. Standout features of the store include wooden stairs and a special counter that looks like it is used for dispensing beans (I forgot to ask).

Yeovil - Vicarage Walk, Yeovil, United Kingdom
	OPENED: Mar 2008, PHOTO: 6/16/2009 This store is unusual because most of the stores in smaller English towns are not built with so much metal and glass. I think this one is more like an American Starbucks.

Licenced Stores
My Starbucking rule regarding store ownership are complicated and will be explained fully in my as-yet-unpublished book, but here are the basics. If Starbucks has a proper company in a country, such as Starbucks United States or Starbucks United Kingdom, then I only count stores operated, in whole or in part (sometimes there are partnerships) by Starbucks. In these countries, stores operated under license by other companies do not count. In most countries, however, Starbucks operates stores in a joint venture with another company (such as Tata in India) or licenses the brand to a primary (exclusive or semi-exclusive) partner, such as Alsea in Latin America and western Europe or Al-Shaya in the Middle East). In such cases I visit stores operated by those primary licensees, but not stores licensed to secondary licensees such as SSP or HMSHost. Additionally, in the U.K. and France, Starbucks franchises to a small set of companies, and I do not count those stores. Finally, note that some stores listed below might have closed down.
