The world’s most influential coffee chain, Starbucks, has left its footprint across the globe. Since its founding in 1971, it has grown to over 23,000 locations. To bring its coffee closer to people, Starbucks stores often cleverly incorporate local cultural elements into their interior designs, giving each outlet its own unique style and becoming an alternative attraction for travelers.
● Starbucks in Seattle
Located in Tukwila, South Seattle, USA, there is a one-of-a-kind Starbucks concept store made of shipping containers. Using four large containers that once transported Starbucks coffee beans and tea leaves, designers have created not only a low-carbon architectural structure but also a uniquely distinctive new look.

● Starbucks in Dubai
The most opulent city in the world is undoubtedly Dubai, and its Starbucks is no exception. The Ibn Battuta Mall in Dubai, the world’s largest themed shopping mall, features six different shopping zones, each full of character.

● Starbucks on a Train in Switzerland
The world’s first Starbucks “train branch” is located in Switzerland. In late 2013, Starbucks partnered with Swiss railway company SBB to convert one carriage of a double-decker train running between Geneva International Airport and St. Gallen into the brand’s first train-based store. With two daily round trips scheduled between the airport and St. Gallen, passengers can enjoy the Swiss scenery from their leather seats, sipping their favorite Starbucks beverages at wooden tables and chairs.
