I understand that Starbucks have there concern in granting franchise of a very large region to a different and unknown entity, when they already have a trusted partner in the region. You can check with your friends if this is something they could consider. Thanks.

I had my first call yesterday with Starbucks, President of Global Retail, Mr. John Culver.
Mr. Mohammed Alshaya in Kuwait is their agent for the Middle East and some Asian regions. So in case of expansion their preference is to go with Alshaya, whom they already have a good rapport with and trust. If you have any opinions, comments let me know.
