Starbucks to offer delivery service in 2015

Seattle -– Starbucks Corp. is planning to launch a coffee delivery service in select U.S cities in 2015, the company said during its quarterly investors’ conference call on Oct. 30. The new service will be available to loyalty program members using the chain’s new mobile app.



Starbucks gave few specific details about the service, but the new app, allowing users to order and pay for items, will launch in Portland in December and in other U.S. markets in 2015.



"Imagine the ability to create a standing order of Starbucks delivered hot to your desk daily," said Howard Schultz, chairman and CEO of Starbucks, during the call. "That's our version of e-commerce on steroids."
