Starbucks To Serve 5,000 New Jobs

Coffee Chain, Starbucks, is set to expand further in the UK and it is not just bringing the promise of a caffeine buzz with it but the hope of 5,000 job opportunities.

Over the next five years the US coffee giant intends to expand the number of drive through coffee outlets it has in the UK bringing the number from nine to 200.

Meanwhile it also plans to open another 100 High Street coffee shops.

This positive news for the jobs sector comes at a time when youth employment has reached one million.
