Sorry, folks. Starbucks is not coming to Pakistan

[Chauvinist]

It may be every coffee lover's dream, but it isn't coming true yet.

Contrary to rumours on the internet, popular American coffeehouse chain Starbucks is not setting up shop in Pakistan.

In the past fortnight, news of Starbucks' impending arrival has been circulating on social media forums, and fans of the coffee company have been speculating where it's likely to open its first outlet.

Upon enquiry from Starbucks' press management, Images learned that Starbucks has "no plans at this time to open a store in Pakistan."

This isn't the first time wishful thinking has gotten out of hand. There have been strong rumours in the past that a whole bunch of coveted foreign brands' are "coming to Pakistan", from fashion retailers like Zara and Victoria Secret to tech giants like Apple.

Those brands have yet to materialise — and Starbucks won't either. At least, not yet.

We have enough coffee brands now. By the way I haven't drank coffee ever

Why a top brand like Starbucks will come to Pakistan. Pakistanis can't afford that.

 

[Zibago]

Is this going to be another Su-35 type saga?

Even though India is a country of tea drinkers, Starbucks are on expansion mood in India

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...ndia-push-with-expansion-of-roasting-capacity

India has become Starbucks’ fastest-growing market since the first cafe opened in 2012 in a partnership with Tata Global Beverages Ltd. Since then, the chain has expanded to 84 locations across six cities there. Starbucks said India will be among its five largest markets in the long term. To crack that list, India will have to surpass the U.K., where Starbucks currently has 870 cafes.

OMG. You don't have even these in Pakistan? I wonder why these brands don't come to Pakistan. Is this because of government regulation or some other reason?

I'm sure Bongolis can afford it by paying in fish sticks.
