Hint: in China.
Last week I was in Shanghai and I told the taxi driver to take me to a nearest Starbucks. He stopped at the biggest Starbucks store I ever seen. About 200 people in the line.. and the line continues to build up.. I will upload the photos I took later, but if you Google for world biggest Starbucks Shanghai then you can see the megastore. I am also sure YouTube also has videos.

So you're in China and you are asking the driver to take you to Starbucks?!

Every country I visit Starbucks is my makeshift office. ☺ the first information I collect is Starbucks location.
The coffee place is originated in US but US stores are the ugliest in the world.. In China, they spend a great deal of resources to put the finest artistic touches in the store design and decoration.

:Edit
In China it is called Shing Be Ke (pronounced shin ba ka)

Watching the news just realised it opened last month. People wait in the line for more than an hour during weekend and active hours.. There's in-store brewing factory that supplies regular small stores in China.

...and they have AR there: Augmented reality. AR, as it's known, becomes the new reality for Starbucks customers here. They point their mobile devices at various points around the store to get an AR tour about how coffee goes from bean to cup. There are also virtual badges to unlock and a Roastery filter to commemorate their visits....

Two hours for a coffee? I wouldn't wait so long even for a gold nugget! Life is too short to spend it in line

Thanks for the link eurojam..

Yep!
You got it.. I was thinking about mentioning the AR stuff. Just amazing.. The longest bar on the world. Biggest coffee store in the world.. I saw about 200 to 300 people in line. Sometimes they wait on the line for more than 2 hours.

Yes.. They sometimes wait that long.. I would wait for that time if I had to, but I came in one of the slow time (working hours)
