“Now, officially, all the assets of the Starbucks chain have been acquired and are under our leadership with Anton Pinsky,” Timati wrote on his Instagram account, according to the agency “Sputnik” today, Saturday.
Timati noted that “visitors should not expect a big change of the brand,” but invited the Russians “to participate in the development of a new name and design an appropriate logo.”
The first Starbucks cafe opened in Moscow in March 2007, and the company announced the suspension of its services in Russia with the start of the war in Ukraine last February.
