By 2028, the world’s largest coffee chain Starbucks intends to reach 1,000 operational outlets. In line with this vision, the company has been on an expansion spree and opened its 400th outlet in the country recently.
The 400th store has come up at Coimbatore known for its industrial development and among the top districts in the state of tamil Nadu contributing to its State GDP.
The cafe is located within the historic Lakshmi Mills compound at Pudur.
Paying homage to the erstwhile industrial site of Lakshmi Mills, one of India’s oldest yarn and fabric manufacturing companies in India, the cafe is a fusion of traditional with contemporary.
Honouring this very legacy, the store has a suspended sculpture art that is weaved together with wood, intricate linen textiles and woven ropes.
The terrazzo floor complements the sturdy concrete walls that rise to a ceiling grid coated in red oxide, an elegant design element that effectively divides the space into compartments, creating pockets of light and shade, volume, and intimacy.
Sushant Dash, CEO, TATA Starbucks said, “The launch of our 400th store aligns seamlessly with our growth story to penetrate deeper into the heartlands of India. Our journey so far has been one of continuous innovation and growth, driven by a passion for coffee excellence brought alive by creating meaningful customer experiences.”
“As we reinforce our dedication to providing the distinctive Starbucks experience across the country, we couldn’t be more delighted to unveil our 400th store in in the industrial city of Tamil Nadu in Coimbatore that is aimed at enriching the community, celebrating local culture, and creating special moments for our customers”, he added.
Starbucks entered the Indian market in October 2012 through a 50/50 Joint Venture with Tata Consumer Products Limited through a network of over 4,200 passionate partners (employees).
Starbucks stores are operated by the joint venture, Tata Starbucks Private Limited, and branded as Starbucks Coffee – A TATA Alliance.
