roast high-quality coffees that we sell, along with handcrafted coffee, tea and other beverages and a variety of fresh food items, including snack offerings, through company-operated stores. We also sell a variety of coffee and tea products and
license our trademarks through other channels such as licensed stores, grocery and foodservice accounts. In addition to our flagship Starbucks Coffee brand, we sell goods and services under the following brands: Teavana, Tazo, Seattle&#146;s Best
Coffee, Evolution Fresh, La Boulange and Ethos. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our objective is to maintain Starbucks standing as one of the most recognized and
respected brands in the world. To achieve this, we are continuing the disciplined expansion of our global store base, adding stores in both existing, developed markets such as the US, and in newer, higher growth markets such as China, as well as
optimizing the mix of company-operated and licensed stores in each market. In addition, by leveraging the experience gained through our traditional store model, we continue to offer consumers new coffee and other products in a variety of forms,
across new categories, and through diverse channels. We also believe our Starbucks Global Social Impact strategy, commitments related to ethically sourcing high-quality coffee and contributing positively to the communities we do business in, and
being an employer of choice are contributors to our objective. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our principal executive offices are located at 2401 Utah Avenue South,

If our subsidiaries incur any secured debt, all or a portion of their assets will be subject to prior claims by their secured creditors. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up, assets that secure
debt will be available to pay obligations on the notes only after all debt secured by those assets has been repaid in full. Holders of the notes will participate in our remaining assets ratably with all of our other unsecured and senior creditors,
including our trade creditors. If we incur any additional obligations that rank equally with the notes, including trade payables, the holders of those obligations will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the notes in any proceeds
distributed upon our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. If there are not sufficient assets remaining to pay all these creditors, all or a

the rating agencies, if, in each rating agency&#146;s judgment, circumstances so warrant. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under further review for a downgrade, are

in this prospectus supplement. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>The notes will be issued under and governed by an indenture dated as of September&nbsp;15, 2016
(the &#147;2016 base indenture&#148;) between us and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, as trustee (the &#147;trustee&#148;), as supplemented by a
supplemental indenture to be entered into between us and the trustee on the date of issue of the notes, with respect to the notes (the &#147;second supplemental indenture&#148; and, together with the 2016 base indenture, the &#147;indenture&#148;).
The following description is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the indenture. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in the following description are defined in the indenture. As used in the following
description, the terms &#147;Starbucks,&#148; &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; &#147;our&#148; and &#147;Company&#148; refer to Starbucks Corporation, a Washington corporation, and not any of its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.

rights as a beneficial holder of the notes. You may request copies of the indenture from us at our address set forth under &#147;Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.&#148; </I></P>

senior unsecured notes outstanding. The notes will be senior in right of payment to our subordinated indebtedness and effectively junior in right of payment to our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that
indebtedness. As of October&nbsp;1, 2017, we had no secured indebtedness. The notes will not be guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries and thus will be effectively subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness or other liabilities, including
trade payables, of any of our subsidiaries. As of October&nbsp;1, 2017, our subsidiaries had approximately $5.0&nbsp;million of indebtedness (excluding trade payables). The notes are not subject to, and do not have the benefit of, any sinking fund.

circumstances (see &#147;Description of Notes&#151;Offer to Repurchase upon a Change of Control Triggering Event&#148;), we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of stated interest or principal on the notes. The obligation to make these payments
may implicate the provisions of the Treasury Regulations relating to &#147;contingent payment debt instruments.&#148; Treasury Regulations provide special rules for contingent payment debt instruments which, if applicable, could cause the timing,
amount and character of a holder&#146;s income, gain or loss with respect to the notes to be different from the consequences discussed herein. Under the applicable Treasury Regulations, for purposes of determining whether a debt instrument is a
contingent payment debt instrument, remote or incidental contingencies (determined as of the date the notes are issued) are ignored. We believe the possibility of making additional payments on the notes is remote and/or incidental and, therefore, we
intend to take the position that the possibility of the payment of such amounts will not result in the notes being treated as contingent payment debt instruments under the applicable Treasury Regulations. Our position will be binding on all holders,
except a holder that discloses its differing position to the IRS in the manner required by applicable Treasury Regulations. Our position is not binding on the IRS, however, which may take a contrary position and treat the notes as contingent payment
debt instruments. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding the potential application to the notes of the rules regarding contingent payment debt instruments and the consequences thereof, including the treatment of additional payments
that might be made in respect of the notes. The remainder of this summary assumes the notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments. </P>

indenture incorporated by reference as an exhibit, except that it will be executed by us and a trustee to be named at a later date. We have summarized select portions of the indenture below. The summary is not complete, and is qualified in its

(i)&nbsp;all existing and future indebtedness or other liabilities of our subsidiaries and (ii)&nbsp;all of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued under it and provides that debt securities

price and the first interest payment date, and will be consolidated with, and form a single series with, such outstanding debt securities; provided, however, that if such additional debt securities are not fungible with the outstanding debt
