Starbucks and Boyu Capital China Joint Venture
This podcast details a strategic joint venture between the global coffee giant Starbucks and the Chinese private equity firm Boyu Capital to manage and accelerate the growth of Starbucks' retail operations in China. Specifically, Boyu Capital is acquiring a controlling interest of up to 60% in the new joint venture for approximately $4 billion, while Starbucks retains a 40% stake and the ownership of its brand and intellectual property. The partnership aims to leverage Boyu’s deep local knowledge to expand the current 8,000 stores to a potential 20,000 locations over time, despite intense competition from domestic rivals like Luckin Coffee. Furthermore, one source provides background information on Boyu Capital, noting its foundation, its successful history in high-profile Chinese deals often attributed to its princeling-affiliated co-founder, and its recent efforts to navigate political and market shifts in China.
