With hema supermarkets, Starbucks is attempting to create “Starbuck Delivery Kitchens” that are specifically designed for Starbucks delivery order fulfilment which will further expand their delivery capabilities while ensuring the highest levels of customer experience.

Together, Alibaba and Starbucks wants to create a virtual Starbucks store that will integrate multiple platforms across the Starbucks and Alibaba ecosystems to enable a more personalised experience for members to register, redeem benefits, and enjoy an extensive range of services.
