The first shop was far too small. Back in 1999, Starbucks had no idea that the market in 皇冠体育app would be so huge, Zheng told Xinhua. The store was relocated to bigger premises in a new commercial center nearby, and business was even better.
The store that closed last year is moving to a new location along the street, where new products and services will be tried out, Zheng said.
By 2019, the company expects to have 3,400 stores in 皇冠体育app, which means a new Starbucks springing up every day.
"We are very bullish on the Chinese market and will continue to develop our businesses here as we did in past years," Hao Yan, communications manager with Starbucks Beijing, told Xinhua.
