Located in Mall Aventura Iquitos in the district of San Juan, the store marks Starbucks first foray into the eastern region of the market. Following recent expansions in Juliaca and Puno, this opening is a key milestone in the brand’s growth strategy, with a projected total of 125 stores in the market by the end of 2024.

This new establishment aims to connect customers with local culture through its unique design and decor. The store will feature a mural created by the Peruvian artist Zelva Uno, reflecting the cultural richness and local biodiversity of Loreto. This mural invites customers to enjoy a cozy atmosphere while savoring high-quality Arabica coffee and handcrafted beverages.

As with other recent openings, this new store in Iquitos is built under Starbucks “Greener Store” framework, adhering to the brand’s rigorous standards for reducing carbon emissions, water consumption, and waste generation. The store features 100% LED lighting, water-efficient technologies, and various practices aimed at minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, Starbucks “Grounds for Your Garden” program, which promotes composting by offering customers used coffee grounds, will be available to encourage waste reduction.

This year has also been significant for Starbucks in Lima, with the opening of new stores in districts such as Santa Anita, Villa El Salvador, and San Juan de Lurigancho, further consolidating the brand’s presence in the eastern part of the city. These moves reflect the sustained expansion of the brand and its efforts to reach even more customers. Furthermore, Starbucks has expanded its portfolio of innovative formats such as the drive-thru, launching a new store under on Av. Pérez Araníbar in San Isidro. This model caters to customers' need for convenience, allowing them to enjoy their favorite drinks without leaving their cars, combining speed, quality, and personalization.

"We are thrilled to bring the Starbucks Experience to Iquitos, a place renowned for its natural and cultural wealth. This marks a significant milestone for us, as we unveil our first store in Loreto,” said Cristel Delgado, Brand Manager of Starbucks Peru. “This year has been pivotal for our growth in Peru, with new store openings and an increase of innovative formats. As we continue to expand, we remain dedicated to connecting with more customers through a shared love for coffee and connection."

The Iquitos store will employ over 15 partners (employees) who will proudly wear the green apron, contributing to job creation and supporting economic development in the city. With more than 1,800 partners currently employed throughout Peru, Starbucks continues to play &nbsp;a significant role in the market’s employment landscape, focusing on the growth of its team and the well-being of the surrounding communities.

Since Starbucks arrived in Peru in 2003, it remains committed to its Peruvian customers, offering not only high-quality coffee but also creating spaces where people can connect and enjoy unique moments. Starbucks expansion into new cities reinforces its mission to nurture the limitless possibilities of human connection—with every cup, every conversation, and every community.

2. Rewards: Customers can redeem their Stars for rewards such as free coffee refills, birthday drinks, welcome pastries, and beverages or pastries for every 100 Stars accumulated as a Gold member. Other rewards include early access to exclusive promotions.

Starbucks® Rewards: 10 Years Transforming the Customer Experience in Mexico

Since its inception with loyalty cards in 2012, Starbucks® Rewards has grown exponentially in the market, reaching over 1.3 million active users and an average annual growth rate of 30%. The program’s significance is evident, with 3 out of 10 purchases now made digitally, and the loyalty platform accounting for over 33% of the total business in the Mexican market.

In 2014, Starbucks consolidated its loyalty program in Mexico by launching its mobile application, offering the ability to pay directly from a mobile phone. In 2019, aiming to further improve the customer experience, Starbucks Delivery was introduced with strategic partners like Uber, Didi, and Rappi, enabling users to get their favorite coffee with just one click. In 2022, innovations such as Starbucks Rewards Pick Up and Delivery in the App were added, expanding purchasing options and making it easier for Mexican customers to access products anytime, anywhere.

Starbucks has leveraged deep data analysis to personalize its marketing strategies, adjusting and enhancing the customer experience and fostering stronger, longer-lasting relationships. This has been key to consolidating Starbucks competitive advantage in Mexico and worldwide.

Starbucks Digital Solutions have been crucial to the expansion and success of Starbucks® Rewards in Mexico, optimizing in-store operations and improving partner (employee) efficiency. These tools have deepened human connections and driven significant growth in the loyalty program.

"At Starbucks, we are proud to continue innovating to offer an omnichannel and extraordinary experiences that adapt to the changing needs of our customers," said Bibiana Rosique, Marketing Director of Starbucks Mexico.

Mexico City, Mexico - In its ongoing effort to support local coffee growers and fulfill Starbucks farmer promise of ensuring the future of coffee for all, Starbucks Mexico created the <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/es/press/2023/starbucks-mexico-celebra-nueve-anos-de-apoyar-a-las-os-caficultoras-es-locales-a-traves-del-programa-todos-sembramos-cafe/">“Todos Sembramos Café” (“We All Grow Coffee”) initiative</a> 10 years ago, in which rust-resistant coffee plants are donated to local coffee growers throughout Mexico.

Building on a decade of commitment, this year Starbucks Mexico plans to donate an additional 776,000 rust-resistant coffee plants to farmers in Chiapas, Veracruz, Puebla and Oaxaca through contributions from customers, partners, and the company itself. This initiative aims to combat coffee rust, enhance industry sustainability, and further support the economic well-being of over 12,000 coffee growers who have benefited since the program’s inception.

"Most of the coffee Starbucks acquires worldwide comes from small farms, including coffee-growing communities in Mexico. Coffee farmers face a variety of daily challenges to maintain the sustainability of this important crop. Joining efforts with each grower motivated the launch of ‘Todos Sembramos Café ten years ago, and we are proud to continue our support of this important program for local coffee farmers," said Francisco Tosso, General Director of Starbucks in Mexico.

Through September 30, 2024, customers can support sustainable coffee practices by visiting participating Starbucks Mexico locations. With each purchase of a bag of whole bean coffee throughout the year from select stores and through Starbucks Rewards® Delivery, Didi Food, Rappi, and Uber Eats, Starbucks Mexico will donate a rust-resistant coffee plant to local farmers. The whole bean coffees eligible for this initiative include Chiapas, Colombia, Espresso, Kenya, Sumatra, Verona and Pike Place.

Additionally, customers can also contribute by donating $10 pesos at the point of sale at participating Starbucks stores or via Starbucks Rewards® during their purchase. This contribution ensures that a rust-resistant coffee plant is provided to coffee producers in the participating states.

A program born to unite the entire coffee chain

Since its rollout in 2014, “Todos Sembramos Café” has been dedicated to tackling the challenges of coffee sustainability in Mexico and beyond. The program recognizes that the future of coffee depends on the collective efforts of producers, industry players, and coffee lovers alike.

Initially, “Todos Sembramos Café” focused on combating coffee rust, a significant threat to coffee crops. The program began by providing rust-resistant coffee plants to Chiapas, aiming to replace crops affected by the disease, rejuvenate old farms, and enhance production efficiency. This support quickly extended to Oaxaca, Puebla, Veracruz, and Nayarit. Together with Starbucks One Tree for Every Bag program, launched in 2015 in the U.S., these initiatives have led to the distribution of over 80 million rust-resistant plants across Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador.

Beyond plant donations, the program has also integrated comprehensive support for coffee producers. Agronomists developed tailored work programs, including regular follow-up visits, soil studies, and pest management, ensuring that new plants thrive and yield high-quality beans.

In 2022, Starbucks partnered with Universidad Autónoma Chapingo to establish a soil analysis laboratory in Huatusco, Veracruz. This collaboration provided growers with essential soil nutrient analyses and fertilization recommendations, allowing them to optimize coffee cultivation efficiently.

Bogotá, Colombia – Alsea, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: ALSEA*), a leading operator of Fast Food, Coffee Shops, Casual Dining and Full-Service Restaurants in Latin America and Europe, and the Starbucks operator in Colombia, celebrated the brand’s 10th market anniversary with an event revealing plans to open 30 new Starbucks stores over the next three years, backed by a $12 million investment. The event also reinforced the company’s commitment to Colombian coffee and highlighted the brand’s growth strategy and future investment plans.

Since entering the market in 2014, Starbucks has created a unique coffeehouse experience across &nbsp;71 stores in six cities – Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla, Cartagena, and most recently, <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/press/2023/starbucks-arrives-in-bucaramanga/">Bucaramanga</a>. As the company’s presence has grown in Colombia, Starbucks is deeply committed to contributing positively to the local community and creating employment opportunities for over 680 partners (employees).&nbsp;

As Starbucks expands across the market, the company plans to enter new cities, introduce new store formats, and build more sustainable stores. In addition to its first drive-thru store, opened in Cali in 2022, the company will unveil its first university store at University Los Andes this September, which will be certified under Starbucks Greener Store program.&nbsp;Currently, there are 25 Starbucks Stores that hold the <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/stories/2023/starbucks-surpasses-50-greener-stores-in-latin-america-and-the-caribbean/">Greener Store certification in Colombia</a>, which aims to cut the company’s global carbon emissions, water usage, and waste sent to landfills by 50% by 2030.

Armando Torrado, CEO of Alsea, said, “Over these 10 years, we have transformed our passion for coffee into a success story thanks to innovation, dedication, and commitment to providing exceptional experiences to our customers; we thank those who have been part of this journey. With the same excitement and passion that has defined us from the beginning, we look to the future determined to continue fulfilling our purpose of delivering happiness and flavorful experiences.”

Currently, Alsea operates more than 1,800 Starbucks stores in twelve markets in Latin America and Europe.

"Colombian coffees have been the cornerstone of many of Starbucks most popular coffee roasts around the world. As we celebrate 10 years of coffee and human connection in Colombia, we extend our deepest gratitude to the local coffee farmers who grow our beans, our green apron partners who serve their communities with pride, and our loyal customers who have embraced the Starbucks Experience,” added Brady Brewer, ceo, Starbucks International. “Our future is bright in Colombia, where our partners will continue to deliver exceptional coffee with the passion and expertise that only Starbucks can offer."

Celebrating 10 Years with Colombian Customers and Partners

In recognition of this milestone, Starbucks unveiled <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/press/2024/starbucks-celebrates-a-decade-of-presence-in-colombia-with-anniversary-merchandise-and-limited-edition-drinks-created-by-partners/">a merchandise line</a> inspired by Colombia’s mountains, wildlife, and coffee heritage and launched two unique beverages created by baristas that feature 100% Colombian coffee in stores from August 26 to 30:

In addition, a special anniversary cookie featuring Starbucks iconic Siren will be available in stores.

Continuing Commitment to Sourcing Colombian Coffee and Supporting Local Farmers

Since its founding in 1971, Starbucks has proudly offered coffee from Colombia through a blend on the company’s original menu. Colombian coffee is a key component of Starbucks® Espresso Roast – the heart of Starbucks espresso beverages around the world. Locally, Starbucks serves 100% Colombian coffee in all handcrafted espresso beverages and offers <a href="https://news.starbucks.com/news/starbucks-new-single-origin-colombia-narino">Starbucks® Colombia Nariño</a> and <a href="http://www.starbucks.com/coffee/medium/colombia/ground">Starbucks® Colombia</a> as single-origin coffees.

In 2012, Starbucks <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2016/starbucks-farmer-support-center-reaches-growers-in-colombia/">established a Farmer Support Center in Manizales</a> &nbsp;dedicated to assisting Colombian coffee growers, their families, and communities, with a focus on sustaining a high-quality coffee supply. In 2022, the Farmer Support Center and Starbucks Colombia introduced the Juntos por el Café (Together for Coffee) program where a portion of sales will benefit local coffee-growing communities. Additionally, the organizations will collaborate to jointly donate over 5,000 native trees to farmers in Huila. These trees will provide essential shade for coffee plants, lower crop temperatures, and help maintain consistent bean quality.

In 2022, Starbucks Coffee Company and Colombian Coffee Growers Federation (FNC), <a href="https://historias.starbucks.com/en-es/press/2022/starbucks-and-the-colombian-coffee-growers-federation-strengthen-partnership/">extended and expanded a program</a> to support farmers in the Starbucks C.A.F.E. Practices network. They launched an initiative to help farmers recultivate their farms with more resilient coffee tree varieties and donated 55 million coffee seedlings and essential fertilizers. This $7.2 million investment has benefitted over 12,000 farmers.&nbsp; Additionally, Starbucks and Conservation International are working together in Huila to protect vital forests, enhance local agricultural nurseries, and improve water quality in seven coffee-producing municipalities.

Uplifting Communities across Colombia

Starbucks has a longstanding commitment to investing in the communities it serves worldwide, and this August, The Starbucks Foundation is pleased to announce two Global Community Impact Grants totaling US$35,000 to Colombian nonprofit organizations Fundación Forge Colombia and Asociación de Bancos de Alimentos (ABACO).&nbsp;

The US$22,500 grant to ABACO will link community kitchen programs through a mobile food pantry in six cities in Colombia, including La Guajira, Medellín and Bogotá, and support food bank operations, ultimately improving the nutritional intake of 11,000 people. Fundación Alsea is co-investing to support the mobile food pantry in Medellín. The US$12,500 grant to Fundación Forge Colombia willimprove the economic and social conditions of 110 youth, primarily in Bogotá, with soft skills training and job placement that enables them to build transferable skills and secure high quality formal jobs.&nbsp;

To date, over $7 million has been awarded through The Starbucks Foundation’s&nbsp;<a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/global-community-impact-grants/">Global Community Impact Grants</a> program to nearly 120 nonprofits across more than 50 markets, representing more than half of all Starbucks global markets.&nbsp;Local nonprofits in Colombia have received more than $100,000 in Global Community Impact Grants in 2022 and 2023.

In addition, together with Fundación Alsea, A.C., The Starbucks Foundation and Planet Water Foundation have supported the installation of three Aqua Tower systems that provide access to safe drinking water to rural communities in the municipalities of Cundinamarca and Sesquilé, Colombia.

With a café and indoor terrace overlooking the Scala Shopping mall with combined seating for up to 50 people, the 140 m2 store has been meticulously designed to ensure that every visitor feels the passion for coffee that defines Starbucks. The store maximizes its impact by accentuating the bar, where the magic of coffee comes to life, and features modular wood panels, marble counters, and digital menu boards.

The art in Starbucks Scala Mall store is a celebration of local culture, thanks to the talent of renowned Ecuadorian artist Apitatán (also known as Juan Sebastián Aguirre Ríos), whose central mural intertwines themes of ancestry, nature, and coffee. It features a woman, symbolizing nature and coffee's origins, who is flanked by local animals, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The side columns display a blooming Guayacán Andino tree, native to Ecuador, and a toucan over a coffee farm, with a jaguar-masked man inviting exploration on the opposite side. This detailed artwork reflects the local landscape’s beauty and diversity, balancing realism with artistic interpretation. The installation connects customers with Ecuador’s coffee culture, celebrating the bond between nature, heritage, and the coffee community.

The café is also certified as a Greener Store, as Starbucks accelerates&nbsp;<a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2021/starbucks-greener-stores-accelerate-global-movement-towards-a-more-sustainable-future/">the international expansion</a>&nbsp;of its open-source&nbsp;<a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/press/2018/starbucks-announces-global-greener-stores-commitment/">Greener Store Framework</a>&nbsp;in support of its global goal to reduce carbon, water, and waste footprints by 50% by 2030. Following extensive evaluation, industry benchmarking, and external expert consultation, the Greener Store program was designed around eight key dimensions: Site Criteria, Energy&nbsp;Efficiency, Water Stewardship, Waste Diversion, Renewable Energy, Responsible Materials, Engagement, Health &amp; Well-being. These dimensions are strategically chosen to maximize the mitigation of Starbucks environmental impact.

When fully implemented, Greener Store design standards deliver more than a 25% improvement in energy performance and an absolute reduction in energy use of 10-15%. They also deliver more than a 30% improvement in store water usage. Lastly, Greener Store design and operational standards can deliver between 10-75% landfill diversion based on local infrastructure. Supporting packaging and reuse strategies will also reduce store waste, improve the recycling and composability of packaging, and promote reusability.

Dedication to Ecuadorian Community

Guided by Starbucks Mission – with every cup, with every conversation, with every community, we nurture the limitless possibilities of human connection – the company is committed to attracting and retaining an industry-leading team of partners and creating opportunities to develop fulfilling careers in the coffee industry. With the five stores expected for Ecuador by the end of 2025, Starbucks will positively impact the Quito community by supporting more than 50 local jobs.

Furthermore, Starbucks green apron partners for the Scala Mall store underwent several months of barista training in Peru where they learned how to prepare Starbucks signature handcrafted coffee beverages. In addition to Starbucks core beverages, customers visiting the Scala Mall store will be able to enjoy a selection of premium whole bean coffee, Frappuccino® Blended Beverages, and local delights such as yuca bread.

Starbucks has a longstanding commitment of investing in the communities it serves worldwide, and The Starbucks Foundation will provide a grant of $10,000 to local nonprofit organization Fundación Forge Ecuador. Awarded as part of the <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/global-community-impact-grants/">Global Community Impact Grants</a> initiative, this grant will support Fundación Forge Ecuador in improving the economic and social conditions of 29 youth in Ecuador with soft skills training and job placement that enables them to build transferable skills and secure high quality formal jobs.

In an effort to positively impact communities around the stores set to open soon, Starbucks Ecuador partners celebrated the market entry by participating in a volunteer initiative with the nonprofit organization Junior Achievement Ecuador, focusing on cleaning the San Pedro River in Quito.

Starbucks Opens First Store in Ecuador 

The current environmental conditions of the planet demand more decisive actions in terms of sustainability. To address this, in early February,&nbsp;Starbucks Mexico launched a new Waste Management Plan in select stores across Mexico City to promote the circular economy, reduce the company's environmental impact and encourage more sustainable practices among partners (employees), customers, and communities.

The new Waste Management Plan was implemented in some Starbucks stores in the Mexican capital, with the aim of expanding this initiative to all stores in Mexico City by 2025, to amplify the positive environmental impact and encourage best practices of the circular economy.

The Plan focuses on effective and responsible management of waste generated in the company's daily operations. First, a waste separation system was implemented in three categories: inorganic, organic, and compostable. To facilitate separation, new furniture specifically designed for this function was installed.

Subsequently, a waste traceability system was established, one of the most innovative aspects of the Plan. This measure will allow Starbucks Mexico to monitor and manage waste more efficiently to ensure proper disposal and reduce environmental impact.

The initiative also includes training to raise awareness among partners and customers about correctly separating waste for better management and final disposal or, where appropriate, proper recycling and reintegration into the value chain.

"The objective of this initiative is not only to implement more sustainable practices in our daily operations but also to raise awareness and motivate our communities to be active participants in this change. We want every visit to our stores to be an opportunity to contribute to a greener future because the planet demands it," emphasized Francisco Tosso, General Manager of Starbucks in Mexico.

The waste management plan integrates Starbucks "For=Here-Ware" program, which promotes using reusable cups and dishes within the stores. This measure aims to reduce the generation of disposable waste, foster more responsible consumption habits, and contribute to consolidating the circular economy.

Additionally, Starbucks Mexico has been promoting reusable cups for years and it has already served over 10,000 beverages in this type of cup to encourage the reduction of single-use cups. The brand offers an 8-peso discount to those who request their beverage in such cups or any personal thermos when visiting their favorite store.

Moreover, the new Waste Management Plan extends the positive effect beyond the organization, prioritizing that all its suppliers practice sustainability and use compostable materials in their products, thus promoting a greener, more sustainable value chain with less environmental impact.

“We are convinced that sustainability is a shared responsibility. Therefore, we work hand in hand with our suppliers to ensure that every product we offer aligns with our environmental values,” added Francisco Tosso.

This new waste management policy reaffirms Starbucks Mexico's commitment to environmental protection and creating a more sustainable world for future generations. For instance, since 2022, all new Starbucks stores in the market are developed under Starbucks Greener Store framework. This means they must meet 25 standards in eight areas of environmental impact, such as energy efficiency, water management, and waste diversion.
