That comes as the largest coffee business in the world announced a significant increase in sales in the UK for 2022, continuing its epidemic comeback.
The company apparently sought to sell its British assets last year.
Almost 1,000 Starbucks locations exist in the UK, where it first opened in 1998.
Despite inflation, which is the pace at which prices grow, being close to a 40-year high, the company is expanding into the UK even though this will increase the cost of materials and reduce its earnings.
The company also intends to open 300 additional stores throughout the Middle East, Africa, and the remainder of Europe (EMEA).
Duncan Moir, who oversees the company's EMEA division, stated that he is still "conservative" about the prognosis for the economy.
He claimed that Starbucks, "like many other firms," has experienced difficulties such as a shortage of HGV drivers, rising supplier costs, and shipping delays.
Also, it is having trouble with rising energy costs and employee requests for better salaries.
Due to a labour scarcity and rising living expenses, hospitality businesses all throughout the UK have been raising salaries. Pret A. Manger recently said that it would be handing its employees their third salary increase in a year.
According to Starbucks, its customers' behaviors have altered as a result of the epidemic, and as a result, the company plans to increase the number of drive-through locations it operates as well as make investments in its stores' digital capabilities.
It also noted that, with London being the exception, foot traffic at cafes in city centers and train stations had recovered more slowly as more people continued to work from home.
According to reports, Starbucks was considering selling its UK operations in 2017 due to increasing competition from rival brands.
The company had also been severely impacted by pandemic restrictions across the globe, though it denied ever starting a formal sales process.
Starbucks said the new outlets will be a mix of both, with about 70% of its UK locations being franchised and the remaining ones being owned by the firm.
