For 37 straight days beginning next week, Starbucks will give away free iTunes music downloads, including songs by Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Paul McCartney, to kick off a new partnership between the coffee titan and Apple Inc. Up to 1.5 million daily giveaways will begin Oct. 2 and run through Nov. 7 at more than 10,000 company-owned and licensed U.S. stores, Starbucks said. When the promotion ends, Starbucks expects to have given away more than 50 million songs.

I'm not a Starbucks junkee so...are ALL the Starbucks company owned or are some franchised? Now that I'm 19 floors above a Starbucks my inquiring mind needs to know!

Starbucks bought out Coffee Partners Hawaii (http://www.bizjournals.com/pacific/stories/2006/01/23/daily18.html)in 2006. Coffee Partners Hawaii also owned the Jamba Juice franchises in Hawai'i, but I don't know if those franchises were included in the deal or not. Jamba Juice's corporate parent may have purchased back the Hawai'i franchises.
