Description
US-based coffeehouse chain Starbucks will open three additional units in Hungary during the last three weeks of 2018. About 50 new jobs are to be created at the new coffee shops.
The openings are part of an ongoing expansion: the first Starbucks coffee shop in Hungary opened in 2010, and since then, an average 4 new units have been opened in each year. This year, however, seven new units have been opened.
The Hungarian Starbucks units are operated by a Hungarian affiliate of Amrest Holding SE, a Madrid-based venture capital partner of Starbucks Corporation.
