(Reuters) - Starbucks Corp said on Thursday it would license out its operations in France, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg to long-standing partner Mexico's Alsea SAB.
Restaurant chain operator Alsea will have the rights to operate and develop Starbucks stores in these markets, the company said in a statement.
Starbucks and Alsea first partnered in 2002, when together they opened Mexico City's first Starbucks store.
