Delosi, the operator of Starbucks in Peru, has opened its first drive-through facility in Lima’s urban area. Situated at the El Ejercito store on Pérez Araníbar Avenue in the San Isidro district, this marks a significant milestone for the brand in the region.
The El Ejercito drive-through represents the second of its kind in Peru, following the debut of the Starbucks Panamericana Sur store in 2018.
The newly opened store generates employment opportunities for ten individuals while providing customers with a convenient on-the-go experience.
The El Ejercito outlet has earned the Starbucks Greener Store certification for its commitment to reducing carbon emissions and implementing eco-friendly practices.
