Starbucks has announced the opening of its second store in Guyana.

As part of its continued expansion plans in the market, Prestige Holdings Guyana Inc., Starbucks yesterday announced that more customers can enjoy the Starbucks Experience at its newest store located at MovieTowne on the East Coast Demerara and said that it is the second drive-thru store in the Guyana market.

A statement from Starbucks said that it ‘designs its stores to elevate the human connections that can be made over a cup of coffee and to reflect the communities it serves.’ This new store, according to Starbucks, features the convenience of a drive-thru, walk-up window and well-appointed café.

“Our baristas stand ready to provide a warm and welcoming experience for customers to enjoy our handcrafted espresso-based beverages, indulgent Frappuccino® Blended Beverages, and delicious bakery & sandwich options alongside Starbucks signature Nitro & Cold Brew”, the statement noted.

And according to Kerri Hosein-Khan, Vice President of Starbucks, “Our newest location at MovieTowne is a stand-alone facility and boasts the stunning work of local artist – Courtney Douglas – depicting the beauty that is Guyana. This location provides the convenience of a drive-thru to the East Coast, which I know, many of our valued customers have been patiently waiting for. We will be providing that Starbucks Third Place experience for every customer. I am also excited to share and celebrate the upcoming first anniversary at Amazonia Mall, which opened on April 24, 2023. Look out for more to come as we prepare to celebrate with customers at Amazonia Mall”.

Since opening its first location in 2023 at Amazonia, Mall East Bank Demerara, Starbucks said it has remained committed to its Guyanese customers. Starbucks, in partnership with Prestige Holdings Guyana Inc., the statement reads, will continue to expand in the market. The MovieTowne store is located at Track A-A, Area K Rupert Craig Highway, Georgetown, Guyana and is open from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm.
