New York CNN —Starbucks has opened its first cafe designed to give customers with disabilities a “more accessible store experience,” the company announced Friday in a news release. The move is part of a wider inclusivity initiative that Starbucks has undertaken to design easily navigable retail spaces for all of its customers. Any cafe that is renovated or opened in the future will begin implementing the company’s “Inclusive Spaces Framework,” it said in the release. The store design will also take acoustics into account by using materials that minimize background noise or echoes, which could disrupt people who use hearing aids. The chain last unveiled a new store design in 2019 with much of the similar aesthetic approach left intact with the new look.

And yet, Walton's wife and children didn't have to pay a dime in estate tax. With an FLP, an individual — often a parent or two parents — pools their business assets, which are commonly real estate or stock. There are pragmatic reasons for keeping family business assets consolidated, according to Dan Griffith of Huntington Private Bank. Another sweetener: you can claim a discount on the assets within the FLP and use even less of your estate tax exemption. This would eliminate all gift and estate tax on the business even if the couple dies after the Trump tax cuts sunset.
