Starbucks Opens Newly Refurbished Marina Crescent Store

Kuwait, 2013 - Starbucks has welcomed customers to its newly refurbished store at the Marina Crescent, marking once again the company’s commitment to offering customers an incomparable experience while enjoying a perfect cup of Starbucks coffee. Commenting on the exciting new look, Rana Shaheen, regional communications and CSR manager at Starbucks MENA, said: “It gives us great joy to present our customers with the redesigned Marina Crescent store, one of a series of Starbucks store renovations taking place this year. These renovations are driven by our passion to inspire our customers through offering the exceptional Starbucks taste in new and exquisite settings which reflect cultural elements of the local community." Shaheen said Starbucks stores offer the “Third Place Experience,” a place between work and home, a place for conversation and a sense of community, a place that has become part of our social and business lives. “Today, people tend to address personal, family and business matters in our stores, and it is our responsibility to create a welcoming and comfortable setting, along with a local touch that our customers can relate to," she added. Overlooking the Arabian Gulf, the meticulously designed interior is inspired by Arab motifs and offers a local ambiance, reflecting Kuwait’s heritage of pearl diving, seafaring and trading. Elements such as the dhow, timber plank flooring, Arabic mashrabiya decoration and Arabic calligraphy create a relaxed, cultured social hub, while preserving the familiar Starbucks feel.
