Countries with the most Starbucks location

The United States and China have emerged as the countries with the most Starbucks stores in the world. The United States is the mother country of Starbucks and it has been ranked as the country with the most Starbucks with over 15,444 stores. Out of the 15,444 stores, 8,947 are company-operated stores while 6,387 are licensed stores. Starbucks headquarters are in Seattle, Washington, united states. This may be one of the reasons why it has the most stores. However, Starbucks has spread all over the world with over 33,833 stores in more than 80 countries out of 195 countries in the world.

China takes the send lead with 5,358 company-operated stores. Since China is a country that is known for investing and doing great business, it is not shocking to find it the second lead. The fact that china is a tea-drinking country but Starbucks managed to change that is amazing The third country with the most Starbucks stores is japan with 1,546. It is followed by Canada with 908 company-operated stores and 468 licensed stores, the United Kingdom with298 company-operated store and 791 licensed stores, and Korea with 1,611 licensed stores. These are the only countries that we can say have the most Starbucks stores since they have more than one thousand stores.

Some other countries that are also considered to have more stores are turkey, Indonesia, Latin America, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Mexico. Most of these countries are coffee-producing regions. This has led to the making of coffee and the growth of Starbucks as it is the largest coffeehouse in the world. As you may have noted, most of these countries are on the same continent mainly because neighboring countries share cultures.

There are other countries with as many as a hundred Starbucks stores but I have only listed the top thirteen countries.

Continents with the most number of Starbucks locations.

The continents with the most number of Starbucks stores are North America and Asia. This is because countries with the most number of Starbucks stores are on these continents. North America has the highest number of Starbucks stores. North America is made up of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. These three countries are among those with the most stores not forgetting the United States is the mother country of Starbucks. The spread of Starbucks was a diffusion where it spread to the neighboring countries first.

The second continent with the most Starbucks stores is Asia. China is the second-ranked country with the most Starbucks stores. Most Asian countries are agricultural countries and most of them grow coffee plants. This has contributed to the spread of Starbucks stores in Asia. There are more than five Asian countries that have been ranked as the top countries with the most Starbucks stores. These countries are China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Thailand. In most of these countries, coffee is a famous drink and that brings us to the fact that Starbucks is highly spreading there.

The other five continents also have Starbucks stores but they are not as many as there are in these two continents. The spread of Starbucks beverages has immensely occurred in these continents and it is still spreading. These ranks are as of November 2021 so in the next five years, Starbucks will have spread to even more countries. It is among the most widely growing industries in the world. It is 51 years old with a revenue of US$29.06 Billion so imagine its worth when it manages to put up stores in over a hundred stores. I love Starbucks and believe it will put up its stores internationally.
