Starbucks Expanding in France!


The American premium coffee group Starbucks is expanding its operations throughout France.


Though known for its iconic Cafes, the Seattle-based Starbucks group has made inroads in France since the first Cafe opened in 2004 on Avenue de Opera in Paris.   Over  the past decade Starbucks added about 100 cafes mostly in the Paris region and in the southern city of Lyon.

Now the group is partnering with the French mega supermarket  Geant Casino to add an additional 100 cafes throughout the country.   As in the USA, Starbucks often has outlets in food markets and is expected to be part of a growing French trend of "le snacking" while shopping.  

Starbucks has over 22,000 cafes globally, many of them throughout Europe and Asia.
