Last Thursday, Starbucks opened the doors to their second location in Saigon (and Vietnam), just 6 months after the company arrived in the Vietnamese market.
According to Patricia Marques, general manager of Coffee Concepts Viet Nam, a subsidiary of Hong Kong Maxim's Group which operates Starbucks in Vietnam:
"Our customers in HCM City have extended a very warm welcome to us over the last six months and we are thrilled to open our second store in the city."
The new location is at the corner of Nam Ky Khoi Nghia and Nguyen Du in District 1.
Marques went on to say that the company is expanding conservatively but plans to open a additional locations in Saigon and other provinces in the near future.
Based on the mixed reaction from our readers when the first store opened, this news is sure to make some smile and others shake their fists to the sky.
