Cap 3000,
the mall/commercial center situated in St. Laurent du Var, has recently
opened a new 3,000 square meter area called “St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.” Among
the eleven new stores, is the American iconic coffee house “”
Starbucks“ (video link) – the first one on the French Riviera. Reportedly, there is a
list for the 39 Starbucks located in France.
From Nice, take
Bus #52 (bus schedule link), which stops directly in front of Cap 3000 (around 20 minutes one way).
“From Starbucks’ founding in later forms in Seattle as a local coffee
bean roaster and retailer, the company has expanded rapidly. In the
1990s, Starbucks was opening a new store every workday, a pace that
continued into the 2000s. The first store outside the United States or
Canada opened in the mid-1990s, and overseas stores now constitute
almost one third of Starbucks’ stores. The company planned to open a net
of 900 new stores outside of the United States in 2009, but has
announced 300 store closures in the United States since 2008.
