The latest coffee shop was inaugurated in the Pipera area, northern Bucharest, in the Novo Park office compound.

The company currently operates 10 coffee shops, out of which seven in Bucharest and one in each of the following cities: Constanta (southeastern Romania), Cluj-Napoca (northwestern Romania) and Timisoara (western Romania).

In 2013, the company reported a turnover of EUR7 million on the local market, up 20% on the year.

Starbucks entered the Romanian market in April 2007, by opening the first coffee shop in Central and Eastern Europe, following a joint-venture with its European partner, Greek group Marinopoulos.

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