Starbucks has affirmed its bullish view on the South African market with a bold expansion into Cape Town scheduled for later this year. This was announced by Adrian Maizey, owner and CEO of Rand Capital Coffee, the custodian of Starbucks in Southern Africa.
With several leases now in place in the Mother City and investment initiated in the requisite supply chain which the company has now brought inhouse, Starbucks Southern Africa is now embarking on building its Cape Town team. Rand Capital Coffee’s expansion journey will initially result in at least 50 permanent new jobs with the further employment of local artists, construction contractors, and artisans.
