Starbucks to expand ‘community’ store footprint to 1,000 locations by 2030

Starbucks is ramping up the global expansion of its “community” store concept as part of a new commitment to make its stores more inclusive — and accessible.

Ahead of its annual shareholder meeting, the coffee giant announced plans to expand its community store footprint to 1,000 locations globally by 2030, both by opening new stores and rebranding existing ones. It currently has 150 community stores.

The concept provides dedicated programming and experiences that support economic opportunity in the local community and create “pathways to opportunity” for employees.  Since it was first launched back in 2015, the community concept has grown around the world to include several store models.
