5. Macro level concerns of setting up more kiosks in Pune:
1. The prices of Starbucks products are high for the students
2. The weather conditions in Pune require high-cost storage facilities to prevent destruction
of coffee products
Micro level concerns:
1. Working class and students will flock in the evening and sales in the morning hours might
be less

Conclusion:
• For the inception of TATA Starbuck’s kiosk in Pune, the market
area near malls and in vicinity of branded shops should be
preferred as it offers highest growth rate which will eventually
cover up the formation expenses.
• The next best option would be in college campus as youth prefers
style and status.
