Today, Starbucks operates 1,600 stores across Japan serving as many as 5 million customers every week, and continues to deepen its relations with customers on digital platforms. In every community we serve, we stay true to our mission of inspiring and nurturing the human spirit by creating connections over coffee. To begin the anniversary promotion, Starbucks Japan is making a renewed commitment to its roots—celebrating coffee and people as the driving force to make positive connections, and create a brighter future with communities full of smiles. This aspiration is reflected in the “The Power of Coffee. The Power of Connection”, the theme of Starbucks Japan’s 25th anniversary, and the celebratory anniversary logo.

In April, the first phase of promotions will begin with a limited-edition 25th anniversary merchandise collection and an invitation to customers to submit moments that make them smile at Starbucks, for a collaborative video called “#2525 (“smile” in Japanese) Relay”.

In late May, the second phase will focus on connections with the community in all 47 prefectures across Japan. In July, the third phase will reaffirm the company’s resource positive aspirations as it continues on its journey with customers towards a sustainable future.
