The coffee chain plans to hire 7,500 baristas over the next five years, mainly outside the south of England; it currently employs more than 18,000 people in the UK. The jobs are to staff 500 new stores due to open by 2031. No investment figure is given; last year Starbucks closed dozens of weak UK outlets as part of a global restructuring (The Guardian, 09 Nov 2026).
