How Starbucks Expanded in Canada

The first Starbucks in Canada opened in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1987. Today Canada is considered one of Starbucks' first international markets, with 1271 locations across 11 regions.

Expansion followed the familiar international pattern: flagship stores in the capital or largest commercial city first, then rapid growth through prime high-street locations, shopping malls, and transport hubs. Suburban formats, drive-throughs where road geometry allows, and licensed kiosks inside airports, hotels, and bookshops rounded out the footprint. Today's distribution — visible in the region grid above — reflects where demand, real estate, and tourism converge, with Ontario consistently topping the list.
