flag Starbucks tests vintage chairs and new mugs in L.A. and NYC to boost its 'third place' concept, with possible nationwide rollout by late 2026.

flag Starbucks is testing a large, plush chair and wider-mouth ceramic mugs at select locations in Los Angeles and New York City to enhance the "third place" experience, encouraging customers to stay longer. flag The chair, with deep green velvet and walnut legs, revives a 1996 design phased out in 2008 due to durability issues. flag The new mugs aim to improve foam and aroma, with a potential North American rollout by late 2026 if testing succeeds. flag The company plans to upgrade nearly 1,000 stores, though specific locations are not disclosed, while continuing to close underperforming locations as part of a broader restructuring.
