Starbucks has over 18,000 stores around the world but none in Italy, where cafe culture is dominant. Opening stores in Italy could offer Starbucks opportunities to showcase traditional Italian roasts and regional products in a cozy, wifi-enabled setting. However, coffee is deeply ingrained in Italian culture, which may pose a barrier for the American brand. A proposed commercial would feature an Italian arriving for coffee at a Starbucks, enjoying the drink and being surprised to learn it's from Starbucks rather than a local cafe. The message is that Starbucks is returning home to Italy.
