Dubai Head Office
**Starbucks**
From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrates coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brings a feeling of connection. Starbucks coffeehouses have become a beacon for coffee lovers everywhere because they know they can count on genuine service, an inviting atmosphere and a superb cup of expertly roasted and richly brewed coffee every time. It’s not unusual to see people coming to Starbucks to chat, meet up or even work. Starbucks is a neighborhood gathering place, a part of the daily routine - and we couldn’t be happier about it. Get to know us and you’ll see: we are so much more than what we brew. Starbucks prides itself on its people, or ‘partners’ as we call them. We strive to develop each partner to achieve their career goals, whether this is to become a district manager, Coffee Master or work within one of our Head Office functions.

The Starbucks journey in the Middle East started with Alshaya with the first store opening in Kuwait, early in 1999. Today, we operate more than 2000 Starbucks stores across 13 countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and Türkiye, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan.
We could not do this without the dedication of our 21,000 green apron partners (employees) across the regions, who serve our carefully handcrafted beverages to millions of Starbucks customers each day.
To build more meaningful connections over coffee, we continue to provide the Starbucks Experience that we know our customers expect from us and meet them where and how they want us to be.
