Starbucks Advances Latin America Expansion 

  

  

 

Seattle - Starbucks Coffee Company is continuing to broaden its presence in Latin America, sharing new store plans for Colombia, Bolivia and Panama over the course of the next year through licensed agreements with long-time business partners.

 

"Starbucks' relationship with Latin America dates back to 1971 when we began buying coffee from the region. Today we source more than half of our coffee from Latin American countries," says Cliff Burrows, group president, Starbucks Americas, U.S., and Teavana. "We see significant opportunity to grow our retail presence beyond the more than 740 stores and 10,000 partners we currently have in 12 countries in the region in a way that will continue to celebrate the region's rich coffee heritage while also deepening our relationships with each of the communities we serve."

 

Starbucks is on track to open its first caf� in Colombia in Bogota in mid-summer 2014 through a joint venture between two of its longest term business partners in the Latin America region: Alsea and Grupo Nutresa. Over the next 5 years, the joint venture plans to expand aggressively in Bogota and to other major cities in Colombia. Alsea has partnered with Starbucks for more than 11 years in the region and currently operates more than 500 Starbucks stores in M�xico, Argentina and Chile.
