Faced store level attrition and found difficult in retaining

Keeping consumers engaged

Keeping the store busy throughout the day

and work

Early Consumer Interest

CCD were not surprised by the initial interest

They did utilize the retail industry grabbing the major headlines.

Starbucks Entry Strategy

They started with aggressive pricing

They offered premium food

Bought its global service practices to India

15-17% employees were poached from CCD but not top management officials

Opening 2 stores a month but it would accelerate

They attracted a broad range of customers including over 25 customers

India is a Pyramidal Market so attracting young customers is important

There focus on service, product innovation and new customer segments had expanded the
US market.

Customer service
Service expectation of customers is not met by CCD.
Maintaining the service levels is the challenge for Starbucks.
Real Estate
High real estate prices in India.
CCD has already present in many high street locations.
Starbucks has been chosen as anchor tenants in many prime locations.
In Type B and Type C locations and secondary locations Starbucks may have high operating
costs.

Looking ahead

CCD is well positioned in Indian market and is ready to take on foreign brands.

To take on competition, CCD has to improve the process, offerings and quality.

CCD for the first time spent $3 million in advertising

As of 2013, CCD can wait a bit longer and think about their strategy against their strategy

To conclude, CCD is ready to take on the global brands.
