The new stores are a testament of Tata Starbucks’ commitment to the Indian market where it currently operates across 341 stores in 4 cities. Adding to the company’s existing portfolio, the new format offers an added convenience to customers where they can pick their orders any time of the day. Highlighting the company’s long-term commitment in one of Starbucks fastest-growing markets globally, the 24X7 stores will offer customers a safe, convenient and a familiar third place experience.
