[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Starbucks Coffee Korea has recorded its highest-ever sales in the first quarter of this year.


According to Emart on the 13th, Starbucks' first-quarter sales reached 522.7 billion KRW, a 15.0% increase compared to the same period last year. This is the highest quarterly sales figure in Starbucks' history.


Operating profit increased by 72.6% to 45.4 billion KRW, and net profit rose by 77.8% to 33.6 billion KRW.


The number of Starbucks stores stood at 1,536 in the first quarter, up 28 stores from 1,508 at the end of last year.



Since last year, Starbucks has expanded contactless services such as delivery-only stores, drive-thru, and Siren Order. Starbucks Korea analyzed that "the base effect due to the spread of COVID-19 and the increase in the use of contactless services" contributed to this growth.
