Starbucks opens their first outlet in Mumbai, in India
Starbucks opened their very first outlet in India on October, 19th 2012, in Mumbai at the historic Elphinstone building located in South Mumbai.
As we all would like to believe, this won’t be the only store in Mumbai. This Consumer Super-Power BRAND will be opening two more outlets in the coming week, in association with Tata Global Beverages, one at The Taj Mahal Palace hotel on Wednesday and the other at Oberoi Mall on Thursday.
In a first in its 40 year history, India is the first location where Starbucks is sourcing and roasting its coffee locally. There are more than 42 items listed on their menu including vegetarian and non vegetarian courses. In addition to the varied menu they are also offering free wifi and will remain open till 11 am on weekdays and up to 1 am on weekends.
The shop can accommodate up to 120 people and is sprawled over two levels with vintage furniture made out of solid Indian teak and hand painted trunks providing a relaxed ambience.
Starbucks has around 8000 outlets in the United States, 1000 in Japan and 700 in China. India is the 61st country globally where they have established a market. Hopefully more stores in various states in India are on the anvil. With rival coffee outlets like Cafe Coffee Day, Dunkin Donuts & Costa Coffee already having opened branches in various cities, Starbucks will be planning to do some aggressive expansion as well.
