The Starbucks coffee chain plans to sell beer and wine in as many as 25 of its U.S. locations in an experiment to boost sluggish evening sales.
“Responding to customer feedback for more options to relax in its stores in the evenings, Starbucks Coffee Company today announced plans to bring wine, beer and premium food offerings to a handful of locations in Atlanta and Southern California by the end of this year,” Starbucks said in a news release Jan. 23.
Customers already can purchase beer and wine in some Seattle locations, and Starbucks previously announced plans to expand the offerings to some Chicago stores.
