Starbucks Korea opens first subway store in Seoul

It does not have plans to expand to more underground locations.

Starbucks Korea has opened its first store in Seoul inside the underground subway Gangnam Station, offering quick service to rush-hour commuters, Yonhap reported.

The only other Starbucks location operating inside an underground station is at Canary Wharf station in London.

“At this point, the company has no plans to consider expanding to more underground locations or take-out only stores,” a spokesperson for the coffee chain said.

Seoul Metro does not prohibit passengers from consuming drinks or food on the train but recommends they refrain from doing so as people are required to wear masks due to COVID-19, said Park Jeong-min, assistant manager on Seoul Metro's press team.
