The U.S. leads with 16,933 stores, followed by China with 8,103. South Korea (2,174) and Japan (2,138) rank next, while Canada rounds out the top five with 1,438 locations.

Together, the U.S., Canada, and Mexico account for nearly half of Starbucks’ global footprint, reflecting the chain’s North American roots and decades of expansion. Meanwhile, South Korea and Japan each have more stores than any individual European market, highlighting Starbucks’ strong presence in Asia.

Where Is Starbucks Growing and Shrinking?

China led Starbucks’ expansion between Q3 2024 and Q3 2026, adding 797 locations despite fierce competition from domestic coffee chains. That’s nearly four times the increase recorded in the U.S. (+203). South Korea (+237) and Japan (+190) also posted substantial gains.

Meanwhile, Malaysia (-136), Saudi Arabia (-59), and Canada (-30) experienced the largest declines. Boycotts linked to the Gaza conflict have pressured Starbucks in Malaysia and parts of the Middle East, including Jordan and Kuwait. However, store closures cannot be attributed solely to boycotts.

In Canada, intensifying competition from independent cafés and lower-priced alternatives has challenged Starbucks’ traditional position as a community gathering place.

Is Starbucks Still Profitable?

Despite store closures in certain markets, Starbucks remains profitable. Its Q3 2026 financial results reported $9.3 billion in quarterly revenue, with global comparable-store sales increasing 7.9%.

However, revenue declined 1.4% year-over-year, partly reflecting the transition of its Chinese operations to a licensed joint-venture model. With 67% of stores now licensed, Starbucks increasingly relies on partners to operate locations, reducing its direct involvement in day-to-day store operations.

As the global coffee industry evolves, Starbucks’ future growth will depend on balancing international expansion, local competition, and changing consumer preferences.
