Located in the capital city of Vientiane, the store opening reaffirms Starbucks long-term commitment to continued growth across Asia with more than 12,000 stores in the region.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to reach this highly anticipated milestone of opening our first store in Laos,\u201d said <strong>Emmy Kan<\/strong>, senior vice president and president, Asia Pacific. \u201cHaving operated in Southeast Asia for more than 25 years, we are honored to welcome our newest partners in Laos to join us in bringing the unparalleled <em>Starbucks Experience<\/em> to local customers through unique store designs, handcrafted beverages, thoughtful coffee experiences, and welcoming environments.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starbucks\u00ae stores in Laos will be operated by its licensee partner Coffee Concepts Limited, a subsidiary of Maxim\u2019s Caterers Limited.

The new store adds to this by offering a warm and familiar coffeehouse experience alongside Starbucks signature handcrafted beverages. Inspired by the layers and symmetry of Laos\u2019 architecture, the store is designed to bring the coffee experience and our brand heritage to life. The handcrafted, textured door handle welcomes customers with an authentic touch from the moment they enter the store. The ceiling of the entire store is covered with Siren scale wood tiles, mimicking the brand\u2019s signature Siren and the historical housing architecture in Laos. Ceiling tiles are adorned with botanical wood craft, inspired by coffee plants and the natural scenery of the country, creating a welcoming, yet familiar <em>third place<\/em> for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The store builds on Starbucks approach to deliver the <em>Starbucks Experience<\/em> to its partners and customers in locally relevant ways, while honoring the heritage and beauty of Laotian art and folklore. In collaboration with a local artist, a hand painted piece of artwork features a Siren boldly looking ahead, holding a coffee branch. The coffee bar is located in the center of the store, putting customer connection at the heart of the experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Starbucks-in-Vientiane-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Starbucks-in-Vientiane-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Starbucks-in-Vientiane-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Starbucks-in-Vientiane-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Starbucks-in-Vientiane-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Starbucks-in-Vientiane-2-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Starbucks-in-Vientiane-2-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate the arrival of the store in Laos, the first 300 Starbucks customers to visit the caf\u00e9 will receive a free limited-edition drinkware and a Starbucks Bearista\u00ae Bear upon purchase of a Grande or Venti size handcrafted beverage, as a token of gratitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the Starbucks brand expands into Laos, the company is committed to using its scale for good and creating a positive impact in every community it serves.
