With 29,865 Starbucks locations in more than 75 countries, you're never far from a Blonde roast or Pumpkin Spice Latte.
And the Seattle-based coffee chain’s reach is only expected to grow as it recently announced plans to prioritise initiatives such as the expansion and growth of international markets.
