Bogota, Colombia - Starbucks Coffee Company has debuted its first store in Colombia honoring the country's rich coffee heritage and the company's 43-year history purchasing premium arabica coffee from Colombian farmers. Located in the stylish Parque de la 93 in Bogota, the three-level store is serving 100% Colombian coffee.
Starbucks� stores in Colombia will be operated by a joint venture with two of the company's longest-term business partners in Latin America: Alsea and Grupo Nutresa. Alsea has partnered with Starbucks for nearly a dozen years in the region and currently operates more than 520 Starbucks� stores in Mexico, Argentina and Chile.

Starbucks entry into Colombia marks an expansion of Starbucks relationship with Grupo Nutresa and Colcafe as the companies partner to offer Colombian customers locally sourced and roasted espresso, drip and packaged coffee at Starbucks� stores in Colombia.
Starbucks� stores in Colombia will be the first anywhere in the world to serve exclusively locally sourced Starbucks� coffee.
