Starbucks plans to open first store in Sweden

Starbucks is planning to open its first store in Sweden early in 2010, at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport with Scandinavian Service Partner as its business associate, reported The Seattle Times.

Starbucks and Scandinavian Service Partner (SSP) have entered into a partnership in June 2008. Together, they have opened stores across the UK, Spain, France and Germany.

Starbucks has opened a new store at Utrecht Centraal Station in the Netherlands of late, with another business partner Servex, which also manages the Starbucks store in Amsterdam Centraal Station.

Apart from Starbucks, SSP also manages international locations of Burger King, Pizza Hut, Upper Crust as well as various other fast-food companies.

Buck Hendrix, president of Starbucks Coffee Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: "We will now be able to offer the unique Starbucks experience to travellers at this airport and provide fantastic coffee, tasty baked goods and a comfortable place to relax."
