Starbucks Preferred Developer

– Elia Group owns and operates one of the busiest Starbucks locations in Metro Detroit located right off Campus Martius Park in Downtown Detroit, Michigan.

– Elia Group also serves as a Preferred Developer for Starbucks. Through this strategic partnership, Elia Group has acquired, coordinated, and worked directly with the Starbucks team to build stand-alone retail locations to the exacting specifications of the Starbucks Corporation.

– The development process with the Starbucks team requires working with very specific elevated design standards as dictated by Starbucks’ in-house and third-party architecture and design teams. Elia Group has successfully worked hand-in-hand with the Starbucks teams on numerous ground-up development projects throughout the country, which necessitated design presentations at each milestone of the design, development, and construction process. Every material selection, light illumination, paint color, and flow of traffic within the store and on site requires approvals throughout the Starbucks organization. Given the challenging nature of their high design standards and approval processes, the Starbucks team leans on a select number of preferred developers for their new stores.

– Elia Group’s team has been fortunate to grow into one of Starbucks’ preferred developers through a high attention of detail and excellent organizational acumen to navigate through their stringent processes to ultimately deliver an incredible coffee experience.
