As Starbucks looks to expand its store portfolio, it's turning to data.
Using a calculator that measures the self-defined "very basic ingredients of human well-being," it plans to open more stores in communities that it thinks would benefit most from the jobs, community spaces and coffee.
Ahead of its annual shareholder meeting Wednesday, Starbucks says it's looking to expand its commitment to inclusivity — both with accessible store designs and new locations in communities positioned to benefit from a new coffee joint. It announced Monday it will open or rebrand 1,000 community stores globally by 2030, expanding its community footprint by hundreds.
