Starbucks plans to expand coffee delivery across the US with UberEats as part of a broader strategy to try to reach more customers.
The coffee chain, which has been facing slowing traffic to its domestic coffee shops, outlined its growth plans for investors gathered in New York.
Starbucks began testing delivery in Miami with UberEats in September and will begin offering it in nearly a quarter of its more than 8000 US company-operated stores early next year.
Delivery is becoming a source of added sales for many restaurant chains that have seen their dining room traffic erode. Many chains say delivery has attracted customers who don’t come in to eat.
