Starbucks announced plans to hire 7,500 new baristas over the next five years as part of a significant expansion in the UK, according to The Guardian.

The coffee chain aims to open 500 new stores, concentrating growth efforts north of the M25 motorway, including the Midlands, northern England, Wales, and Scotland, the report added.
