Starbucks’ Growth Destroyed Brand Value*
Starbucks announcement that it will close few stores in KSA, it is a long overdue admission that
there are limits to growth.
The founder Howard Schultz recognized the problem that his own growth strategy had created:
“Stores no longer have the soul of the past and reflect a chain of stores vs. the warm feeling of a
neighborhood store.” Starbucks tried to add value through innovation, offering Wi-Fi service,
creating and selling its own music. More recently, Starbucks attempted to put the focus back on
coffee, revitalizing the quality of its standard beverages. But none of these moves addressed the
fundamental problem: Starbucks is a mass brand attempting to command a premium price for an
experience that is no longer special.
Suppose you are hired by the Starbucks Coffee as CEO for Saudi Arabia. How will you help
company to recover and expand its operation in Saudi Arabia?
