Starbucks held a ceremony on Tuesday to celebrate 10,000 service members, veterans and military spouses hired by the company since 2013.

Richard Chambers, chair of the Starbucks Armed Forces Network, told the crowd at the ceremony that he recalled finding a sole military retiree at the Starbucks Support Center when he started five years ago. The 23-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran said &ldquo;The Starbucks Armed Forces Network could maybe get 12 veterans in a room. And then look at the journey since then&mdash;all the work that&rsquo;s gone on with the recruiting team.&rdquo;

The coffee company reached the 10,000 hires milestone before its 2018 goal. Starbucks announced on March 22 that they wanted 25,000 hires by 2025.

&ldquo;We are delighted to be able to not only meet and exceed the five-year commitment&mdash;we did that in three and a half years&mdash;but to also to step back and say, &lsquo;There&rsquo;s more that we can do,&rsquo;&rdquo; said incoming Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson.
