Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz and his wife announced they’ve moved to Florida for their "retirement phase," leaving Washington state after nearly half a century.
Schultz shared the news in a post on LinkedIn, recounting how he, his wife Sheri, and their golden retriever Jonas, made the move from New York City to Seattle 44 years ago.
"We were starting a new life," Shultz wrote, recalling how Sheri would be their primary income earner as he started a new job "at a place called Starbucks" in September 1982.
Schultz would later become the coffee company's CEO, serving in the position from 1986 to 2000, from 2008 to 2017, and as its interim CEO from 2022 to 2023.
