Does Starbucks franchise?
Starbucks does not franchise operations and has no plans to franchise in the foreseeable future.

In North America, the majority of our stores are Company-operated. As an exception, Starbucks may enter into licensing arrangements with companies who provide access to real estate which would otherwise be unavailable such as airport locations, national grocery chains, major food services corporations, college and university campuses and hospitals.

Actually it is a shame that more attention about the progress AIDS research has made with controlling or modulating this disease. The meds to treat and control HIV are probably the single most incredible advancement in modern medicine of the last 10 years. Of course compliance with the medications, which is not an easy thing, and avoidance of high risk behaviors continue to be mandatory for maximal benefit but HIV associated deaths continue to decline.

Magic and his expanding girth is an example of a guy who thought he had a terminal disease that would surely cost him his life only to find out that he would likely have decades to slowly do himself in like the rest of us from the evil of excess and gluttony. It is amazing that few media types are interested in a story such as this.....
