ABOUT BEAN STOCK

Welcome, partners

As a Starbucks partner, Bean Stock gives you the opportunity to own a piece of the company and share in the value you help create every day. It’s why we’re called partners.

How Your Bean Stock Journey Begins

Your Quick Start Guide

This year’s Bean Stock grant date is November 11, 2026.

On December 11, 2026, eligible partners will find their 2026 Bean Stock grant at netbenefits.com.

Starbucks awards Bean Stock once a year, typically in November. Partners receive a letter or email in mid-December, once it’s in their Fidelity account. You do not need to sign up.

Eligible partners:

  • Are employed by Starbucks on May 1 before the November grant
  • Work in an eligible coffee house or support role
  • Work in a company-owned market (licensed or franchise stores are not eligible)

After you receive your first grant, go to netbenefits.com

  • Select ‘Register as a New User’
  • Identify yourself as a U.S. employee
  • Enter your information in the ‘Tell us about yourself’ section

Note – If Fidelity does not have your email or phone number, you may need to call a rep toll-free at (866) 697-1048 to complete your registration.

  • To see grants that are waiting to vest, select ‘STARBUCKS RSU’
  • To see shares you already own, select ‘INDIVIDUAL – TOD’, then ‘Positions’, then ‘SBUX’

Bean Stock is awarded as Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), which means there is a waiting period before you own the shares. The waiting period is 2 years:

  • After 1 year, you receive the first half of your shares (less taxes)
  • After 2 years, you receive the remaining half of your shares (less taxes)

Note – You must stay employed by Starbucks during this period to receive the shares. Once shares have vested and are in your account, you can sell them at any time.

Selling shares:

  • Log in to your Fidelity account
  • Select ‘INDIVIDUAL – TOD’, then ‘Positions’, then ‘SBUX’
  • Click the green ‘Sell’ button

If you leave Starbucks before your Bean Stock has vested, all unvested shares will be canceled. Any shares that vested before you leave are yours and stay in your Fidelity Stock Plan Account until you sell them.

Please be aware that if you decide to work at Starbucks again, previously cancelled Bean Stock grants cannot be reinstated due to plan rules.
