Starbucks founder visits award-winning PH store

MANILA, Philippines - Starbucks founder and chief executive officer Howard Schultz visited the coffee chain's store at The Grove by Rockwell in Pasig City, Thursday morning. 

Schultz did a quick tour of the store, which recently won Starbucks' "Best New Core Store Design in Asia" in 2013. The Starbucks store at The Grove beat out designs submitted by 111 Starbucks outlets around Asia. 

The Starbucks shop has a uniquely Philippine resort theme that matches the aesthetics of The Grove by Rockwell. Located along C5, the 5.4 hectare The Grove property will feature six residential towers. 

Schultz, who is in Manila only for a day, said this was his second visit to the Philippines. He chatted with the store manager and baristas, and posed for photos with some customers.

They've been doing business in the Philippines for quite a long time.
