Viral Video Shows Massive Crowds At Starbucks's First Store Opening In Varanasi

When discussing the world's most renowned coffee chains, Starbucks immediately comes to mind. Not only do they offer a variety of coffee options, but their menu also boasts a wide range of food items. While they provide diverse options, their pricing is often considered to be on the higher end. Despite the perception that Starbucks outlets wouldn't thrive in small towns due to their premium prices, the reality proves otherwise. A recent viral post on X (formerly known as Twitter) exemplifies this trend. The post showcases a video of the newly opened Starbucks in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, showing people crowding outside for its opening. The text accompanying the video reads, "People previously thought Starbucks wouldn't succeed in small towns because nobody would buy a Rs 300 coffee. Meanwhile, in Varanasi:"

In the video, a lengthy queue of individuals is visible, not only inside Starbucks but also extending outside, awaiting entry. After a brief moment, the camera transitions to the interior of the establishment, unveiling a bustling coffeehouse with every table occupied and numerous patrons standing, patiently anticipating their turn. The caption atop the video presents a recent meme, stating, "Starbucks ka moye moye kar diya Banaras walon ne."
