Starbucks also announced that CEO Kevin Johnson will transition from his lead role on April 4, but he will continue to work with Starbucks as a partner and special consultant to the company and board through September.

Starbucks founder Howard Schultz will return to the company he helped build as interim CEO, while the board searches for a long-term replacement.
