The coffee shop in Pipera will occupy 200 square meters on the ground floor of building D in Novo Park. The office compound was developed by Genesis Development held by businessman Liviu Tudor.

“The opening of this Starbucks coffee shop is a natural and necessary step for us, as a major segment of our clients operate or work in the office buildings in this area,” Costin Gheorghiu, district manager Starbucks Romania, said in a press release Thursday.

The company plans to reach 18 coffee shops in Romania by the end of the year.

Starbucks has over 20,000 coffee shops in 65 countries and also retails its own brand of coffee.
