Starbucks reopens Reserve store at The Avenues in Kuwait
The new design pays tribute to the heritage of Kuwaiti traditions and culture.
Alshaya Group and Starbucks Coffee Company celebrated the grand reopening of its newly refurbished store at the Grand Avenue, The Avenues in Kuwait.
“The reopening of this Reserve store underscores our pride in delivering a global Starbucks experience with genuine local appeal,” said Mohammed Alshaya, executive chairman at Alshaya Group.
The store was the first Reserve store in the country, and when it opened in 2012, it ranked amongst the largest Starbucks stores in the world.
The new design of the two-storey, 5,000 sq. ft. location pays homage to the heritage of Kuwaiti traditions and culture, incorporating fine woodwork, mystical murals, and other distinctive touches into its interiors, furniture, and fittings.
With seating for over 160 customers, the store also features a flagship terrace overlooking Grand Avenue.
Featuring the company’s rare, small-lot Reserve coffees roasted at its Milan Roastery, the store’s Reserve bar gives baristas a platform to engage in a dialogue with customers over unique brewing methods that include the Clover Brewing System, pour-over, siphon, and Chemex.
