Starbucks will also extend the cafe experience at competition venues, volunteer hubs, and many other places--serving coffee to Olympic and Paralympic athletes, fans and spectators.

Starbucks has been part of the fabric of the Greater Los Angeles community for nearly 35 years with more than 1,000 stores in the broader LA region. Beyond its coffeehouses, Starbucks continues to invest in the broader Los Angeles community through The Starbucks Foundation. In June 2025, The Starbucks Foundation awarded 45 Neighborhood Grants, totaling nearly $100,000, to Los Angeles organizations and in January 2025, The Starbucks Foundation contributed $1 million to support relief and recovery efforts in response to the Los Angeles wildfires.
LA28 will bring the Olympic and Paralympic Games to Los Angeles in 2028, uniting more than 15,000 of the world's greater athletes in a celebration of sport, culture, and human potential. Set against a diverse collection of venues only Southern California can deliver, from the Pacific Ocean to Hollywood stages to world-class arenas, Los Angeles will become the third city ever to host three Olympic Games, following 1932 and 1984, and will also host its first ever Paralympic Games. The LA28 Games will celebrate historic milestones including becoming the first Olympic Games in history to feature more women athletes than men than men.
