Heel goed nieuws.
Toevallig heb ik 3 dagen geleden 2 zakken koffie van SB in the UK toegestuurd gekregen . het is weer lekker.
wel raar dat in de E-mail die ik van de head van Amsterdam gekregen heb, (van de head of Starbucks roasting plant EMEA) niets stond hierover... ze zei en ik citeer "as soon as we're ready to launch in the Netherlands, we will do so" "we are currently looking for a suitable partner, and as you know these things take time.."
Het ziet er naar uit dat ze die partner gevonden hebben...
Hier is die E-mail voor de geinteresseerden:
Thanks for your interest in Starbucks Coffee. As probably mentioned in
previous replies from my colleagues, we have been eager to open stores
in Holland since we relocated our roasting plant and base of EMEA
(Europe, Middle East and Africa) operations here to Amsterdam.
We have been looking at the market seriously for some time and that as
soon as we're ready to launch, we will do so. We normally work with a
local business partner to develop stores in international markets.
Identifying this partner, agreeing terms and conditions, finding sites,
sourcing local materials, etc. takes time.
We still haven't got a definite date on when we will open the first
store Holland, but we are really excited about bringing the Starbucks
Coffee experience to the Dutch market soon. As I am sure you are aware,
there are so many places around the world where we have yet to open a
store. One cup at a time, one store at a time we like to say! :-)
Perhaps we can ease the wait by sending you a little something. Please
let me have your address and I shall be delighted to put something in
the post to you.
Thanks again for your interest in Starbucks Coffee, please let us know
if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
