Starbucks heads south with new corporate office in growth push
Key Points:
- Starbucks plans to open a new office in Nashville, Tennessee, later this year to expand its corporate footprint in the Southeast U.S., focusing on supply chain management for North America.
- The Nashville office will house sourcing and operations teams, offering relocation opportunities to some Seattle-based employees, while Seattle remains the global and North America headquarters.
- Tennessee Governor Bill Lee praised the move, highlighting the state's business-friendly environment and the creation of quality jobs for Tennesseans.
- Nashville is already a hub for major employers like Bridgestone and HCA Healthcare, with other companies such as In-N-Out also expanding their presence in the area.
