Acclaimed artisan baker #roccoprinci brings the craft of bread baking, exceptional ingredients and the “Spirito di Milano” to customers for the first time in the United States Freshly baked onsite, the artisanal Italian #food experience joins the premium #starbucks Reserve® brand as the exclusive #food pairing to its rare, small-lot coffeesThe #seattle location is part of #starbucks investment in expanding Princi™ globally through its #starbucks Reserve® retail formats as well as standalone #princi boutique stores in 2018
SEATTLE (November 7, 2017) – #starbucks Coffee Company (NASDAQ: SBUX) today announced the opening of the first #princibakery and café location in the United States at its #starbucksreserveroastery in #seattle. The Roastery opened in December 2014 as an homage to coffee, a completely immersive and sensorial space that redefined customers’ expectations of a retail environment. Completing this new customer experience is the introduction of #princi, offering freshly baked Italian #food crafted from Rocco Princi’s recipes, which has gained a devoted following in his six stores across #milan and in London’s Soho neighborhood.
Princi will become the exclusive #food offering in all new #starbucksreserveroastery locations including Shanghai, opening in December 2017, #milan in late 2018, and New York, Tokyo and Chicago thereafter.
“Rocco #princi is an artisan who, at an early age, discovered a love of bread making and through determination as well as an obsession for finding the perfect ingredients, has created an Italian #food experience that I think is unparalleled,” said #howardschultz, executive chairman, #starbucks. “His passion for authentic #food and respect for Milanese culture come through in everything he does, and I think our customers are going to fall in love with #princi.”
Born in #calabria, Italy, #roccoprinci began as a baker’s apprentice and opened his first store at the age of 21 in the #villasangiovanni. With the motto, “hot bread all day,” demand quickly exceeded his expectations and Rocco moved to #milan, opening a shop in 1986. Designed with ovens as the centerpiece of his stores, #roccoprinci and his team bring the theatre of baking to life using simple, yet sacred artisanal techniques, and exceptional ingredients sourced specifically for each fresh #food offering. Sourced without compromise and baked without shortcuts is what defines #princi #food.
At the newest #princi location in #starbucksreserveroastery in #seattle, a team of bakers and chefs bring over 125 years of experience to #princi recipes. Much like Rocco’s European locations, the #seattle store is centered around ovens with #food across every daypart baked fresh onsite. More than 100 menu items – from flaky cornetti to focaccia sandwiches filled with salame Milano and mozzarella di bufala or crostata fragola – will be available daily, using ingredients imported from Italy, 25 of which are specifically for #princi. The #food will be displayed in abundance as a Commessa guides customers through the breadth of offerings.
“Today, I am realizing a dream that I have had since I was a young man, and I am grateful to Howard for his vision to bring #princi to the world,” said #roccoprinci, founder, #princi. “Having worked side by side with the team that #starbucks has assembled, I have seen firsthand their talent as well as the attention they have given to ensuring that the fresh, authentic, handcrafted ingredients that define the #princi experience are being honored. I am excited and humbled that the #people of #seattle will now be able to experience our #food.”
In 2016, #starbucks announced that it had joined a global investment team – which includes Milan-based #angelcapitalmanagement and Pekepan Investments – to expand #princi bakeries into international markets. In addition to the #starbucksreserveroastery locations, #starbucks plans to open #princi standalone stores starting in 2018.
