Seattle coffee retailer Starbucks will open locations in each of the Walt Disney Co.'s six U.S. theme parks, the two companies announced Monday.
Additional locations will follow at unspecified dates in Disneyland itself and in each of Walt Disney World's four theme parks: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Starbucks said many of its customers have asked for locations in Disney theme parks through MyStarbucksIdea.com, a 4-year-old company website. "So we are pleased to bring this idea to life," Arthur Rubinfeld, Starbucks' president of global development, said in a prepared statement.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
While these will be the first Starbucks coffee shops in Disney's domestic parks, the two companies have worked together elsewhere. In June 2009, Starbucks opened a store in Disneyland Paris' Disney Village.
Starbucks also operates two locations at Universal Orlando: One inside the "New York" section of Universal Studios Florida, the other in the resort's CityWalk retail district.
