February 5, 2018: Seattle-based Starbucks is on a binge to invade China — opening one new coffee location a day for the last 5 years — and move tea to the back counter! The new Shanghai location, over 30,000 square feet “compound”, features 3 coffee bars, in-house bakery and according to Starbucks —“augmented reality” what ever the hell that is? I think that means “high tech” and something legal you can do while sipping coffee with your smartphone? Starbucks now has over 5,000 locations in China and average coffee costs running a dollar+ higher than here in the US. Watch out Rocket Man, Starbucks might have you on their radar???
