Starbucks is set to open another 100 new stores across the UK in 2024 and has revealed the location of the first 19 sites.

The world-wide coffee chain has announced plans to expand on its already 1,169 stores across the UK, according to The Mirror.

Starbucks is said to be looking to spend around £30 million on the project and the new branches will be a combination of company-operated and franchised stores.

This is the second year in a row the coffee chain has revealed plans to open 100 new UK stores.

In March 2023 Starbucks announced similar plans to open 100 new coffee shops with a focus on drive-through sites and locations within key cities.

Overall, the company is planning to open 300 stores across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, The Mirror reported.

President of Starbucks Europe, Middle East and Africa, Duncan Moir in The Mirror, said: "Innovation remains key to Starbuck's ability to meet our customers’ changing needs and we’re investing in our digital channels and developing new store formats such as digitally-forward smaller stores and Drive Thrus.

"Whilst we are cautious about the macro-economic environment, we will continue to invest to grow the region this year."
