Two Starbucks stores for Kingston
Starbucks Jamaica is recruiting staff to fill barista and shift supervisor roles for two stores to open in Kingston.
The chain opened its first of a planned 15 stores in Montego Bay in November and is now ready to make its debut in the capital.
It will operate stores at Liguanea Plaza and at Knutsford Boulevard in New Kingston, according to spokesman Stephen Hector.
Starbucks Jamaica will be hosting a job fair at Liguanea Plaza later this month to choose workers for the outlets.
