Starbucks looking to hire 10,000 veterans and military spouses (VIDEO)

Now, though, gun owners might have a reason to once again support Starbucks. That is, Schultz announced plans to hire 10,000 veterans and active duty spouses over the next five years.

“The value we are creating for shareholders is tied to the values that guide us as an organization. As I look at the opportunity ahead of us, we’re going to need to hire men and women with like-minded values and the right job skills in order to continue our current levels of growth,” said Schultz.

“The more than one million transitioning U.S. veterans and almost one and half million military spouses - with their diverse background and experience - share our mission-driven sensibility and work ethic and can build long-term careers at Starbucks as they return home,” he continued.

In addition to hiring veterans and their spouses, the java giant is opening up five community stores in U.S. joint base locations to help fund local nonprofit programs that support veterans re-entering the workforce. In other words, it’s more than just jobs at Starbucks Schultz is offering to servicemen and servicewomen, it’s financial support to find careers elsewhere.

Plus, this Veteran’s Day, Monday, Nov. 11, Starbucks is giving away free tall brewed coffee to veterans, active duty military and military spouses.
