As Starbucks Taiwan celebrates its 16th anniversary, the company also announced plans to launch the nation’s first Drive-Thru (DriveThru) outlet, which will officially open on March 27 in Yongkang, Tainan. By the end of 2014, there will be a total of three Starbucks Drive-Thru locations across northern, central, and southern Taiwan. These will debut under the theme “Star Café Stops, Coffee On the Go.”

The new store, located along Zhongzheng South Road in Yongkang, Tainan, covers an area of over 350 ping. In addition to a Drive-Thru lane that accommodates both takeout customers and passing vehicles, the store also retains indoor seating, with the interior spanning 87 ping and outdoor seating areas offering a total of 175 seats. The surrounding area also provides convenient parking for larger vehicles. The Drive-Thru ordering area follows the conventional concept, featuring a designated ordering zone and a pick-up zone. Customers can interact with staff through the ordering system at the ordering zone to complete their purchases. The store is expected to begin a soft opening on March 20, with the official opening on March 27. During the opening day from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, customers can enjoy a “buy one, get one free” promotion. It is sure to become one of Tainan’s popular new attractions in the near future.
