Understanding China Company-Operated Stores

Why did Starbucks’ China store classification change?

Starbucks sold a majority interest in its China retail operations to a Boyu Capital joint venture in March 2026. The stores transitioned from company-operated to licensed reporting.

Issuer definition

Did that transition mean stores closed?

No. A change in ownership classification is different from a change in the physical footprint. This page preserves the company-operated history rather than joining it to a different store category.
