SEATTLE — You may be able to get your favorite brew to-go soon. Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson announced their road map to gradual reopening this morning in a letter to partner restaurants.
In the letter Johnson called the newest phase, "monitor and adapt." The chain has limited customers to contactless delivery and drive-through service since late March.
The decision to reopen for to-go will be on a case by case basis.
"The decision of how to operate a store, and when to make changes, is a human one," Johnson said, adding later that it falls on store partners to, "do the right thing. Only by trying to exceed local, state and national health requirements will we be ready to serve our communities."
Johnson said this plan for U.S. stores is based off of experience in the Chinese market, where Starbucks says about 90 percent of their stores have reopened.
