Chief Executive Officer Howard Schultz said his company sees opening 1,000 new stores in the United States in the next five years. The new cafes, which employ about 20 workers each, could add a total of 20,000 jobs, Schultz said Thursday. Schultz, 59, also said he has no plans to retire and still has a lot to accomplish at the company he has been with for more than two decades. Schultz has been countering slowing domestic growth with expansions abroad and in September set the date of its first store in India for this month. The CEO said the company is on track to have 1,500 locations in China by 2015 and that he is "very bullish" on the nation despite its recent slowing growth.
