Starbucks’ latest offering isn’t a crazy new Christmas drink or an aesthetically pleasing peppermint mocha – but a new store location manned by deaf baristas.
The coffee chain announced the opening of its Penang signing store on Tuesday (Nov 19) morning, in collaboration with the Penang Deaf Association.
This will be the coffee giant’s fourth signing store globally and its second in Malaysia. The first store was launched in Kuala Lumpur in 2016, followed by one in Washington D.C. in 2017, and another in Guangzhou, China in May this year.
