Total Starbucks locations globally 2003-2024
There were 40,199 Starbucks stores worldwide in 2024. This figure also included other segments owned by the coffee-chain such as Siren Retail. Starbucks units have grown almost every year over the past twenty years. The only drop was in 2009, most likely due to the global financial crisis. Global expansion has ultimately allowed the coffee-chain to almost double its number of locations over the past 10 years.
Where are Starbucks stores located?
When looking at Starbucks stores by country, most were located in the U.S., the company’s home nation. In 2024, there were more than 16 thousand Starbucks locations in the U.S. alone. Despite the U.S. having more stores than any other country, the company’s international presence has shown tremendous growth. Beginning in 2018, there were more international Starbucks stores than in the U.S., a gap which has since widened considerably.
Will Starbucks do delivery?
Starbucks launched a pilot partnership with Uber Eats in late 2018, allowing them to deliver items from a selected delivery menu to consumers’ homes. The company also developed the Starbucks app for customers to pre-order and pay for items before pick-up. With the global revenue of the online food delivery market reaching 1.1 trillion U.S. dollars in 2024, Starbucks along with many other companies has evolved to capitalize on this online market.
