Starbucks has just opened the largest location in the world, and let me tell you, the photos are jaw-dropping! On December 6th, the new Shanghai spot debuted, transforming into a massive caffeine paradise. This incredible space spans a whopping 30,000 square feet and boasts an 88-foot-long coffee bar. You’ll find multiple drinking stations with some wild flavor options like smoked butterscotch and vanilla bean breve. But wait, there’s even more!
A Multi-Sensory Coffee Journey
The entire experience is designed to be a “multi-sensory coffee journey,” according to a Starbucks press release. Visitors can use an augmented reality app to explore different areas of the store. How cool is that?
More Than Just Coffee
If coffee isn’t your thing, don’t worry! The menu also includes Italian pastries, beer, wine, spirits, and even a 3-D printed tea bar (not sure how that works, but hey, count me in for those pastries!).
Starbucks Capital of the World
For those of you who can’t hop on a plane to Shanghai anytime soon, there are plenty of drool-worthy images circulating online. It’s fitting that the biggest Starbucks is in China, considering Shanghai already has over 600 locations, making it the Starbucks capital of the world. With 3,000 outlets across China, a new Starbucks opens every 15 hours!
Exciting Developments in the U.S.
But don’t feel left out, folks in the U.S.! Starbucks is ramping up the coffee experience here too. A four-level Roastery is set to open in Chicago in 2019, which Executive Chairman Howard Schultz describes as the “Willy Wonka of coffee.” Expect some theatrical vibes and a unique experience that blends caffeine and entertainment!
