South Africa’s Taste Holdings, which recently licenced global pizza giant, Domino’s in the country, has signed an exclusive deal with Starbucks Coffee.<\/p>\n
“For the first time in sub-Saharan Africa, Starbucks will open full-format stores bringing the entire range of its food and beverages, including its ethically-sourced Arabica coffee, to South African consumers,” Taste said in a trading statement on Tuesday (14 July).<\/p>\n
According to the group, it will bring the brand to local shores from 2016.<\/p>\n
Taste acquired the licence for Domino’s in South Africa in 2014, and officially opened up several branches in the country with the aim of having 100 branches by 2016.<\/p>\n
The group has since announced that it will be converting all of its Scooters Pizza and St Elmo’s Pizza outlets into Domino’s stores over time.<\/p>\n
Starbucks is the latest US brand to be coming to South Africa, following the announcement that a local consortium, KK Doughnuts SA, would be bringing Krispy Kream doughnuts into the country.<\/p>\n
