Starbucks South America director Claudia Aburto said: “We are delighted to bring the Starbucks Experience to consumers in Osorno, expanding our presence in southern Chile. Our store designers have created a space that highlights must-see places in the region, such as the Osorno volcano and Lake Llanquihue, thus delivering moments of connection around coffee that so many of our customers enjoy.”
The Osorno store’s design reflects the city’s history, featuring motifs such as a kingfisher and Maitén leaves typical of the region, the company said.
In 2003, Starbucks made its way into Chile, setting up shop in Santiago.
