The Russian version of Starbucks is going to open its first overseas store?

Timur Yunusov, a Russian rapper, and Anton Pinsky, a Russian entrepreneur, have not reopened all of the stores they took over from Starbucks. Today, Star Coffee is planning the operation of its first overseas store while expanding its domestic presence in Russia.

On Sept. 8, local time, Timur Yunusov (Timur Yunusov), one of the co-owners of Star Coffee, introduced the operation of the Star Coffee store on his ins account.

The first three of the 15 stores in the St. Petersburg area are already open and the goal of opening 100 stores will be completed by the end of September. At the same time, we have received more than 50 overseas invitations and are processing them.

Subsequently, the TASS news agency reported that singer Timur Yunusov (Timur Yunusov) said in an interview with reporters on Thursday that the Stars Coffee chain, which replaced Starbucks in Russia, was planning to open stores abroad. Anton Pinsky, another owner of Star Coffee, pointed out that the first overseas branch of the coffee chain will open in Armenia.

It is reported that Star Coffee plans to open more than 20 outlets overseas, which may be located in countries in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. According to Anton Pinsky, due to the huge demand, we are actively planning to develop overseas. There are 20 to 25 options on the waiting list, and these requests come from completely different countries.

According to Anton Pinsky, the countries on the waiting list, such as Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Palestine, Oman, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and so on, do not have Starbucks for some reasons, which gives the Star Coffee brand a rare opportunity.

The chain's 130 stores in Russia were closed after Starbucks announced on March 8 that it would end its 15-year franchise in Russia. Pinskiy&co completed its acquisition of Starbucks' Russian assets on July 30th. On Aug. 17, it officially changed its name to Stars Coffee and changed its trademark to replace the Starbucks mermaid with a girl wearing a traditional Russian headdress, kokoshnik. On August 19, the Star Coffee chain became the successor to Starbucks in Russia, welcoming its first customers in Moscow.
