CDX will also be competition in terms of pulling the youth towards Starbucks
We can target the same segment as Costa Coffee – more in line with Starbucks brand

6. STRATEGY
Slide 6 of 6
Target Market -Working youth – The daily commuter – Consumer with restricted
spaces
Brand image
Image of Starbucks in India is that of a luxury premium cafe. Works for
stores where cost can be more. Not in line with Kiosk culture.
Brand it as a FAST COFFEE SERVICE provider
Pune – It Hub – Perfect location?
Presence of various IT companies and colleges. Bangalore – a competition,
but prices are very high.
Pune – cheaper, various IT parks and upcoming malls available
Strategy
Place in malls, airports, Corporate parks as well as near Starbucks stores.
Costs
Depending on the size and your menu, average costs are between 5 to 10 Lakhs
Operating Expenses – Rs 8000-Rs10000
Feasibility
If we initially start with a few kiosks with presence in airports, malls and
corporate parks, with few popular menu items, expecting a footfall of around
