Facing stiff competition from local brands like Luckin Coffee Inc (OTCPK: LKNCY) and Manner Coffee, Starbucks has reluctantly entered a price war.

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has called for a major overhaul of the company amid a sales slump, citing a need to revamp operations and improve the customer experience. Starbucks faces challenges from inflation, competition in China from Luckin Coffee, and a significant drop in sales due to various factors. The company's second-quarter results fell short of expectations, with a 4% decline in global comparable store sales and earnings missing analyst estimates. Despite these challenges, Schultz remains optimistic about Starbucks' recovery, especially in China. Starbucks stock has declined over 31% in the last 12 months, but shares are trading higher in premarket.
