| Subsequent Events [Text Block] | Subsequent Event On November 3, 2025, we announced the Company has entered an agreement to form a joint venture with Boyu Capital, a leading alternative investment firm, to operate Starbucks retail in China. We believe this partnership marks a significant milestone in Starbucks ongoing transformation and underscores its commitment to accelerating long-term growth in China. Under the agreement, Boyu Capital will acquire up to a 60% interest in Starbucks retail operations in China. Starbucks will retain a 40% interest in the joint venture and will continue to own and license the Starbucks brand and intellectual property to the new entity. Boyu Capital will acquire its interest based on a cash-free, debt-free mutually agreed-upon total enterprise value of approximately $4 billion, to be further adjusted for other contractually agreed-upon items. The transaction is subject to required regulatory approvals as well as customary closing conditions, and is expected to close by early calendar year 2026.
