With more than 25,000 stores worldwide, it may seem like Starbucks has left no country unclaimed, yet Italy is uncharted territory for the coffee giant — until now, that is. Starbucks opened a Roastery location in Milan Thursday, marking its first foray into Italy.
Roastery locations are far from the typical Starbucks store. Designed for a more upscale experience, rather than catering to those looking to get their quick caffeine fix. There is a coffee roasting facility inside the store and customers can choose a wide array of items from alcoholic beverages to pizza.
