Starbucks has major plans for its newest business location
(UCBJ) – Starbucks officials announced the global coffee company will invest $100 million to expand its North American presence by locating a Southeast corporate office in Nashville.
“As Starbucks continues to expand across North America, Nashville gives us an opportunity to support that growth with great talent and proximity to our growing number of coffeehouses and suppliers across the Southeast. This city offers a deep, diverse talent pool and a strong sense of community, making Nashville another ideal place to invest for the long term,” said Brian Niccol, chairman and CEO, Starbucks.
Starbucks has major plans for its newest business location, where it will employ up to 2,000 people over the next several years to serve in a variety of corporate-related operations.
The announcement expands on the company’s news released last month regarding its broader North America growth strategy.
“The Nashville office will directly support continued coffeehouse expansion and rising customer demand, particularly in the southeastern U.S., while working closely with the company’s global headquarters in Seattle,” according to a release.
“Tennessee is known nationwide for its strong values and fiscally conservative approach to business,” according to Gov. Bill Lee.
“… And we are proud to add Starbucks to the strong roster of brands that place their trust in our business climate and skilled workforce. As Starbucks continues to shape their brand and expand their operations, we’re grateful that they have chosen to build a future here, creating up to 2,000 quality jobs for Tennesseans,” said Lee.
