Starbucks marked its fifth year operating in India with the opening of its 100th store.
The October opening in Mumbai was the latest expansion by Tata Starbucks Private Ltd., the 50/50 joint venture between Starbucks and Tata Global Beverages and was intended to reaffirm the partnership’s long-term commitment to India.
“As we continue our journey with Tata, a company that shares the same values and vision for growth, we remain committed to earning the trust and respect of our Indian customers through the unparalleled Starbucks experience,” said John Culver, group president, Starbucks international and channel development.
Tata Starbucks also plans to open three more stores in Kolkata (Calcutta) in early 2018.
