FINALLY STARBUCKS IS COMING TO SOUTH AFRICA!!

We are happy to announce that South Africa’s Taste Holdings, which recently brought global pizza giant Domino’s to South Africa, has signed an exclusive deal with coffee giant Starbucks. Taste announced this morning that the licensed partnership will see Starbucks open across South Africa!

“We are very excited to be Starbucks’ partner in Southern Africa. As we’ve visited numerous Starbucks markets and partners around the world we’ve come to realise that we share similar core values, including a commitment to localisation and uplifting both direct and indirect partners,” Carlo Gonzaga, CEO of Taste said.
“For the first time in sub-Saharan Africa, Starbucks will open full-format stores bringing the entire range of its food and beverages, including its ethically-sourced Arabica coffee, to South African consumers,” Taste said in a trading statement on Tuesday (14 July 2015).

My sister and I have been waiting for this moment so much so that we wanted to try sealing the deal ourselves before we found out that we had been beat to it already, but we aren't complaining.*jazz hands* According to the group, Starbucks is set to hit our local shores next year in 2016.
Starbucks is the latest US brand to come to SA, following the announcement that Krispy Kream doughnuts into the country.
We have never been so excited by coffee news!
