Starbucks boss: "We were wrong to open Brighton shop"
By Richard Gurner
Email: richard.gurner@theargus.co.uk

The global boss of coffee chain Starbucks has said the firm got it wrong when they opened a branch in Brighton without planning permission.

There was community outcry in 2008 when the multi-national giant opened in Kemp Town's St James’s Street, despite being refused permission by Brighton and Hove City Council.

Company CEO and chairman Howard Schultz made the admission on yesterday's (WED) Jeremy Vine show when he was quizzed by the Radio 2 host.

Mr Schultz, who is in the UK promoting a book, said: "I think in that particular case there were certainly things that in hindsight we would do differently today.

"I would say universally in the future if a community didn't want us to come in we would be respectful and thoughtful.

"That is an isolated situation we're trying to work through and I don't think we got that right."
