And the Seattle-based coffee chain’s reach is only expected to grow as it recently announced plans to prioritise initiatives such as the expansion and growth of international markets.
This means that in countries such as France, where there are just 177 Starbucks locations, or Australia, which has just 42, there may soon be many more of the coffeehouses.
However, the company still faces competition when it comes to markets known for their coffee, such as Italy, where there are only three Starbucks locations.
In 2018, Italy became the chain’s 78th global market when the Reserve Roastery opened in Milan - 20 years after Starbucks opened its first store in Europe.
Although the global coffee company has made strides towards improving both the coffee offered and the overall coffee shop experience with the inception of its more high-end Starbucks Reserve locations, it will likely be a long time before Starbucks sees growth similar to that of its United States market.
Currently, the US leads by more than 11,000 Starbucks locations - these are the 10 countries with the most Starbucks coffee shops.
1. United States - 14,758
2. China - 3,684
3. Canada - 1,542
4. Japan - 1,415
5. South Korea - 1,260
