MONACO – Starbucks celebrated the opening of its first store in Monaco, in partnership with Tar.Ca, on December 4. The store is situated inside the Jardins d’Apolline at 1 Promenade Honoré II in the Monte Carlo municipality.
The principality’s store has been designed uniquely for its iconic location and is inspired by the Cote d’Azur’s landscapes, with Monaco’s emblematic mountainside and back gardens of exotic plants echoing Starbucks coffee farms and origins.
The store will welcome up to 78 customers inside and 60 outside on the scenic terrace. Locals, commuters and tourists can enjoy their favorite daily cup of Starbucks coffee in store, or take it away to bring the Starbucks Experience with them.
“Starbucks is thrilled to now offer high-quality coffee and the unique Starbucks Experience in Monaco thanks to our partnership with Tar.Ca,” commented Matt Sikes, vice president Business Development Starbucks EMEA. “We are grateful to Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco for their warm welcome.”
