Starbucks opened its first-ever Canadian Pickup store in Toronto This is only the second Starbucks Pickup store in the world. New York City was the first city to get the new, smaller Starbucks, which offers no seating, and only caters to customers who order ahead with the Starbucks app. Starbucks found a way to go even more digital. On February 4th, 2020, Starbucks will open its first-ever Canadian Pickup store in Toronto’s Commerce Court. The Pickup store is made for customers who prefer to ‘Mobile Order & Pay’ with the Starbucks app, as the only way to order from this store is through the app. As it is a very busy downtown location where most people probably just grab and go and customers will most likely be very comfortable using the app.
This Starbucks location is small and doesn’t offer any seating, but it still features the full beverage and food assortment menu that is available at other Starbucks cafés. Additionally, for the first time ever in Canada, customers will know exactly how much longer they’ll have to wait through digital screens. Starbucks hopes to modernize the customer experience in stores, which is why the Starbucks Pickup is so important to the company, it says. This is the first Starbucks Pickup store in Canada and only the second in the world.
