Description
Coffeehouse chain Starbucks is to hire 300 employees for the new stores in Milan. Hirings will take place in two phases. The first 150 employees will be hired in September/October 2018, when the company is expected to open a store in the Cordusio area. Further 150 hirings will follow in 2018/2019 with the opening of another four stores in the city.
These are the first Starbucks stores in Italy. With its 2,400 square meters, the Cordusio store will be the biggest in Europe and the first 'Reserve roastery' (coffeehouse with roasting) in the Middle Easter and North African region.
