Howard Schultz’s favorite fast-food chains
A radio interview of Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz revealed he may indulge in a juicy, indulgent burger from time to time. Asked by host Alec Baldwin to name some companies he admired, the king of coffee named In-N-Out, the cult favorite on the West Coast, and Shake Shack, the retro concept that’s quickly spreading from its New York roots.
He told the audience of WNYC’s Here’s the Thing that he admires the cleanliness of In-N-Out’s bathrooms in particular.
Schultz also revealed that his charge was spending upward of $300 million annually on employee health insurance before the Affordable Care Act, or more than it spends on coffee beans.
The native New Yorker said he’s also an admirer of Disney, Nike and Apple.
