Starbucks is finally making its way to SA. Why has it taken so long? It appears that the guys who brought us Domino’s Pizza will be launching arguably the world’s most famous coffee brand in Joburg soon.
Starbucks began in 1971 as a retailer and roaster of whole beans and ground coffee. It now boasts 21 000 stores in more than 66 countries.
