Starbucks Plans 2,000 Jobs at New Nashville Office

By Heather Haddon


Starbucks said its new Nashville corporate office will house 2,000 jobs over the next five years as the chain expands cafe operations in the South and East.

Starbucks intends to invest $100 million in the new Nashville office. The company had around 9,000 U.S. corporate, store development, roasting and other non-retail employees as of September.

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that the company was moving some existing supply-chain roles to the new corporate center, and would offer positions to dozens of existing Seattle-based employees to relocate. The company said Tuesday that it was also relocating some corporate technology jobs to Nashville.

Starbucks said it would occupy all of the Peabody Union building, a new downtown Nashville complex with 250,000 square feet of office space along the Cumberland River.

As for Seattle, Starbucks' decades-long home, the company said it will keep a large presence and the majority of its corporate teams there.
