The company announced a $100 million investment to establish a support office in the city, which is expected to bring up to 2,000 jobs over the next five years. The roles will include new hires, relocated positions, and work shifted in-house from contractors, covering areas like supply chain, technology, and corporate support functions.
A temporary office is set to open in The Gulch in May 2026, with a permanent headquarters planned for the Peabody Union development by 2027. The site will eventually occupy an entire building and serve as a key regional hub while Starbucks maintains its global headquarters in Seattle.
Company leadership says the move is part of its broader “Back to Starbucks” strategy, aimed at accelerating growth across the U.S. and positioning the brand closer to high-demand markets in the Southeast. Officials also point to Nashville’s workforce and business environment as key factors behind the decision.
Tennessee state and local leaders have highlighted the investment as a major economic win for the city, bringing thousands of jobs and further strengthening Nashville’s growing reputation as a corporate destination.
