Starbucks Is Growing Again in Brazil After a Messy Collapse
Starbucks plans to open 30 new stores in Brazil in 2026, a 33% increase from its current number. The chain is now operated by Zamp, a Mubadala-backed group managing Burger King in Brazil. The expansion follows the collapse of former partner SouthRock, which went bankrupt in 2023 with $360m in debts.
