Which city in the United States has the largest number of Starbucks stores?

Which country has the largest number of Starbucks stores worldwide?

The Seattle-based coffeehouse chain had over 14 and a half thousand stores in operation in its native country in 2018. Comparatively, Starbucks operated roughly the same number of establishments in international locations, meaning there were nearly 30 thousand stores worldwide in 2018. Of the U.S. based units, over eight and a half thousand were company-owned, while the remaining six thousand stores were licensed. With this number of stores spread across nearly 80 countries around the globe Starbucks has firmly cemented itself as a coffeehouse empire.

International locations

As noted, the United States has by far the largest number of Starbucks establishments. So, which other countries also crave the caffeine hit this chain provides so conveniently? Perhaps unsurprisingly, the rapidly growing consumer nation of China accounted for the second highest number of Starbucks stores with over three and a half thousand in 2018. Unlike in most other countries, all Chinese establishments were company-operated. Other countries with a high amount (over one thousand) of Starbucks stores are Japan and Canada.
