The Starbucks Foundation and Alshaya Starbucks donate to support the humanitarian aid in Gaza. 

Truth matters. In response to misinformation, we’re sharing the facts on what Starbucks believes and stands for. 

Our story begins in 1999 with the opening of the first Starbucks store in the Middle East. In Souq Sharq, Kuwait, our first store has proudly served the local community for over 20 years.

Since then, we have opened more than 200 Starbucks stores in Kuwait and continue to invest in our local communities and the people we serve.
