STARBUCKS

To say Starbucks purchases and roasts high-quality whole bean coffees is very true. That's the essence of what we do – but it hardly tells the whole story.

The authority to open and operate Starbucks stores in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, which includes Türkiye, belongs to the Kuwait-based Alshaya Group.

Starbucks is a coffee brand that has roots in the United States but operates worldwide. Located in 86 markets, Starbucks' Middle East and North Africa operations, including Türkiye, are carried out by Alshaya Group with more than 1900 stores in 11 countries.

In the Middle East and North Africa region, Starbucks stores are operated by Alshaya Group in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and the United Arab Emirates. It employs more than 8000 partners (employees) in Türkiye alone.

Every day, we go to work hoping to do two things: share great coffee with our friends and help make the world a little better. It was true when the first Starbucks opened in 1971, and it's just as true today. We share this same great coffee experience in Türkiye since 2003 as well.

We're not just passionate purveyors of coffee, but everything else that goes with a full and rewarding coffeehouse experience. We also offer a selection of premium teas, fine pastries and other delectable treats to please the taste buds. Our Starbucks Reserve coffees are available in selected Starbucks stores since 2015. This is where, we offer our rarest coffees, small batched roasted in Seatle; presented with different brewing methods to you. Currently, you can find Starbucks Reserve stores in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and Antalya. And the music you hear in store is chosen for its artistry and appeal.

It's not unusual to see people coming to Starbucks to chat, meet up or even work. We're a neighborhood gathering place, a part of the daily routine – and we couldn't be happier about it. Get to know us and you'll see: we are so much more than what we brew.

Starbucks' mission statement is more than words on a piece of paper – it's the philosophy that guides how business is done every day. Our passion is to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup, and one neighbourhood at a time.
