Starbucks' new dress code will require baristas to wear certain colors with green apron
Starbucks is updating its dress code to limit the amount of colors that staff can wear as part of effort to enhance its signature green apron look. Starting on May 12, baristas will be required to wear a solid black top, whether it's a crewneck, collared or button-up shirt, the coffee chain announced Monday. Meanwhile their bottoms must be a shade of black, khaki or blue denim. The chain said it will also provide employees with two free black T-shirts as the "more defined color palette" is launched. "We're evolving our dress code in all stores to focus on simplified color options that allow our iconic green apron to shine and create a sense of familiarity for our customers, no matter which store they visit across North America," Starbucks said in a news release. The company said the dress code change will maintain the green apron's status as the symbol for Starbucks since they were introduced in 1987. In 2016, Starbucks unveiled a dress code that allowed baristas to embrace some more diversified personal styles from pink hair to fedoras. At the time the policy was meant to embrace looks that go beyond classic "black/white tops with khaki pants under a green apron," allowing color patterns like charcoal, gray, navy and brown. Ahead of the May 12 change, current dress code allows staff to wear bottoms with the colors gray, brown or navy. Meanwhile, tops must feature subdued and muted color patterns or solid colors. The uniform update comes as the chain continues to emphasize a specific aesthetic at its locations. At a shareholder meeting last month, Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol discussed the company's "Back to Starbucks" strategy, which includes testing new store designs at "select locations across the U.S." Niccol said these store designs include bringing back condiment bars, serving in-store coffee in ceramic mugs and having baristas write on cups with Sharpies. "We're working hard to ensure our coffeehouses have the right vibe," Niccol said at the meeting. "We want to invite customers in, showcase our great coffee, provide a comfortable place to stay, and make them feel like their visit was time well spent."

Starbucks Is Set To Report Earnings, in Test of Turnaround Plan's Progress
Starbucks plans to report fiscal second-quarter results after the market closes Tuesday. The report marks the third since new CEO Brian Niccol took the role in September. Analysts expect quarterly revenue to improve year-over-year for the first time in more than a (SBUX) is slated to report fiscal second-quarter results after the bell Tuesday, marking the coffee chain's third report under new CEO Brian Niccol, who took over the role in September. Niccol's 'Back to Starbucks' turnaround campaign has involved a whirlwind of changes, from the aesthetic (baristas are once again writing names on coffee cups with Sharpies) to the practical (the condiment bar has returned and Niccol has put an emphasis on getting orders filled within four minutes). In February, Starbucks said it would lay off 1,100 corporate employees to create 'smaller, more nimble teams.' Analysts expect Starbucks to report year-over-year revenue growth for the first time in more than a year, with a consensus forecast of $8.81 billion, up 3% from a year ago, according to Visible Alpha. Still, net income is projected to decline nearly 30% to $550.75 million, or 48 cents per share. Shares of Starbucks wavered between gains and losses in recent trading Tuesday, and have lost close to 9% since the start of the year, slightly underperforming the S&P 500. Investors will likely be watching closely how Starbucks addresses the current tariff environment. Several companies have pulled their outlooks in recent weeks amid economic uncertainty, and suggested they could raise prices in response to import taxes.

DeSantis makes Florida 1st state to legally recognize 'Gulf of America'
DeSantis makes Florida 1st state to legally recognize 'Gulf of America' 'Florida is proud to follow the leadership of President Trump as the first state to officially recognize the Gulf of America,' a bill sponsor said. Show Caption Hide Caption Watch: The Gulf of America rolling gently on Destin's shore Watch the Gulf of America rolling onto Destin's shore. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed bills renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in state law and textbooks. This action aligns with a previous executive order from former President Trump. The change will be reflected in instructional materials purchased after July 1, 2025. The Sunshine State is claiming dibs on being the first to officially recognize the Gulf of America as the body of water's new name. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed two bills (HB 575, HB 549) that rename what's known as the Gulf of Mexico in state law and public school textbooks. The measures' sponsors in the Senate posted photos of themselves with DeSantis in the governor's Capitol office, holding blue Sharpies and green "Gulf of America" road signs. 'Florida is proud to follow the leadership of President Trump as the first state to officially recognize the Gulf of America,' Republican state Sen. Nick DiCeglie said in a statement. 'American exceptionalism isn't an abstract idea. It is an absolute fact that we must recognize and celebrate. In Florida, we will always put America first.' Added Republican Sen. Joe Gruters: 'These bills, now Florida law, ensure we reflect that fact across state government and, most importantly, in our schools. It is our responsibility to ensure our children understand American greatness.' The moves follow up on Trump's executive order, "Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness," to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and Denali, a mountain in Alaska, back to Mount McKinley. The bills change the name of the body of water that borders almost half of Florida to the Gulf of America in Florida state law and direct state agencies and school districts to adopt instructional materials that include the change after July 1. They require all new purchases of instructional "geographic materials," such as textbooks, and additions to media center libraries to refer to the Gulf of America.
