...early January, Schultz (who took over Starbucks in 1987 when it was a six-shop coffee bean retailer), resumed the title of CEO, a position he originally left in 2000 for a seat on the board of directors. Since then, the company has announced a number of major changes. On January 30, the company said it would stop selling breakfast sandwiches (in response to criticism that the odor covered up the smell of coffee), slow its rapid pace of opening stores in the U.S., and no longer report comparable-store sales to Wall Street - a sign that the company...

Visitors today arrive at a cramped parking lot set along the A344, that's far too small for so popular an attraction. The only other facilities are a tiny gift shop - selling Stonehenge Rocks!
