Starbucks Continues to Accelerate Growth in Southeast Asia

Company plans to add 100 new stores in Indonesia over three years and 100 new stores in the Philippines over the next four years

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Starbucks Coffee Company (NAS: SBUX) today reaffirmed its commitment to accelerate growth in Southeast Asia, announcing plans to open 100 new stores in Indonesia over the next three years and another 100 stores in the Philippines over the next four years. Howard Schultz, Starbucks chairman, president and ceo, committed to continuing to invest in the region following this week’s market visit to Indonesia and the Philippines, where he met with Starbucks partners (employees) and customers.

Starbucks entered Southeast Asia in 1996 with its first store in Singapore. The company currently operates more than 700 stores across six countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and, most recently, Vietnam.

“With a population of more than 600 million people, an emerging middle class that is driving strong consumption and a robust and resilient economy, Southeast Asia presents a compelling growth opportunity for Starbucks,” said Schultz. “Never before have Starbucks prospects in this region been so exciting. As we ramp up our ambitious, yet disciplined, growth momentum across Southeast Asia, we will continue to build the Starbucks brand through the lens of humanity – supporting local coffee farmers and the neighborhoods we serve, while also investing in the growth and development of our partners.”

Starbucks has a long history in Southeast Asia that pre-dates its first store. The company has been sourcing the highest-quality arabica coffee from Indonesia’s Sumatra since 1971. Today, Starbucks sources a significant amount of the best arabica coffee beans from Indonesia (Sumatra), the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Starbucks® Sumatra Dark Roast Coffee is the best-selling single origin coffee for Starbucks around the world. Coffee beans from the region have also been featured in many Starbucks all-time popular coffee blends, including Starbucks® Anniversary Blend, Starbucks® Thanksgiving Blend, and Starbucks® Tribute Blend.

Kimco Completes Purchase of Wilton River Park in Fairfield County

NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Kimco Realty Corp. (NYS: KIM) announced today that it has acquired the remaining phase of the 283,000-square-foot Wilton River Park in Wilton, Conn. Including the company’s initial acquisition, the combined investment of this complex totals $82 million, including $57 million of mortgage debt. Wilton River Park is a valuable addition to the company’s shopping center portfolio because of its strong mix of retailers, including the dominant supermarket in the community, and attractive location within the upscale market of Lower Fairfield County.

In August 2012, Kimco completed the first phase of its acquisition of Wilton River Park with the purchase of Wilton Campus Shops, a 97-percent occupied retail center anchored by the national grocer Stop & Shop. To secure full ownership of the complex, Kimco recently finalized the purchase of Wilton Executive Campus and Shoppes, a 187,000-square-foot mixed-use center directly adjacent to Wilton Campus Shops that shares all road access and parking, for $42 million, including the assumption of $36 million of mortgage debt. Kimco acquired both parcels from the original developers of Wilton River Park.

The purchase of Wilton Executive Campus and Shoppes adds another 72,000 square feet of prime retail space to Kimco’s portfolio, and brings aboard a full tenant roster of national retailers such as Gap, Starbucks Coffee Company and True Value Hardware; fashion boutiques Snappy Gator and Chou Chou; and the four-screen Bow Tie Cinemas. These retailers complement the fashion, fitness, food and personal services retailers of Wilton Campus Shops.

With full ownership of Wilton River Park secured, Kimco has greater leasing control and development flexibility to better ensure an optimal tenant mix and the best and highest use of all commercial space.

Wilton River Park is located along River Road in the heart of Wilton, Conn., in Lower Fairfield County – a region known as Connecticut’s “Gold Coast” for its affluent population and proximity to both New York City and the Long Island Sound. The average household income within three-miles of Wilton River Park is $241,000.
