When you hear the name Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), very few will say that its variety of tea is the first thing to come to mind. However, Fortune reported its line of Teavana iced teas and tea lattes, as well as introduction of it’s new White Flat and full acquisition of Starbucks Japan, resulted in a 7% growth in sales for stores opened in the last 13 months bringing company sales up 18% from $3.87 billion in the same period last year. Starbucks also reported that their China/Asian Pacific segment grew 124% in the quarter, which prompted the company to fully acquire Starbucks Japan. According to Fortune, this sale increase in Asia offset the 10% revenue decline to $280.3 million seen in their Europe, Middle East and Africa markets. Customer loyalty is still at the forefront of the Starbuck brand with 1.3 million customers joining their reward programs this quarter, totaling its membership to 10.3 million. With the My Starbucks Reward success, Starbucks continues to introduce new service to benefit their loyal customer base. Recently, the company created a service in selected locations where customers can order and pay ahead of time using the app and plan to implement this feature nationwide sometime this year.
