Starbucks is selling its instant coffee, Via, in Tesco stores throughout the United Kingdom and will expand that to Sainsbury's Waitrose and other major retailers will later this year. The company said it will soon be available in more than 2,000 grocery stores across the UK.
Starbucks also said Monday that it will launch a line of new coffee products this fall in grocery and convenience stores in Japan. This will be the first time Starbucks has sold coffee products outside its own retail stores in that country.
