Starbucks Coffee to open distribution center in LaVergne

The center will open in LaVergne, about 20 miles southeast of Nashville, and provide gift wrapping and shipping services to 700 Starbucks stores.

The project represents a $3.2 million investment, officials said.

“Starbucks is a company with a great reputation, and we look forward to building a long and prosperous partnership with them,” Gov. Phil Bredesen said.

The Seattle-based coffee company has more than 7,500 retail locations worldwide, the company said.
