Starbucks is examining a possible sale of its UK business as the world’s largest coffee chain faces changing consumer habits after the pandemic and greater competition.The group hired advisers Houlihan Lokey earlier this year to look at potential options for the business, according to a person familiar with the matter, who added that it could attract interest from a specialist franchising group or a private equity firm.
