For our second episode, we introduce you to the man, the myth, the legacy: our original manager Tony Jensen. As we meander down memory lane, we uncover Tony’s origin story. From a newly hired manager in training, to running the 4th busiest store in the company. We learn how his management style not only allowed his employees to flourish, but also helped to shape lasting change in a rapidly growing company. Lots of laughs, memories, and revelations: when we were young and Starbucks was fun!
In the early/mid 90’s the “Coffeehouse Culture” was alive and well.Far from the ubiquitous presence it is now, Starbucks had just begun toreach Southern California. Long before it had become ingrained into ourcultural tapestry, Starbucks began its baby steps across Los Angeles. Weworked together at what was the third Starbucks to open in Los Angeles:the store in Studio City on the corner of Ventura Blvd and Vantage.
Working for Starbucks at this time was new, fresh, and exciting. . A time when we were young and when Starbucks was fun.
