Guardian ousts Times to bag Starbucks distribution

By Dominic wireposts

The Guardian has ousted The Times as the sole newspaper on offer in Starbucks coffee shops.

Back in 2004 The Times struck up a deal to go on sale in Starbucks’ then 311 stores nationwide in the UK.

From 5 November, the Starbucks newspaper sale bins will instead be filled with Guardians for a trial period of a year.

Starbucks now has 690 stores in the UK and claims that two million people a week walk through their doors.

The new deal may provide some much-needed pep for Guardian sales – which were down 6.5 per cent to 332,587 in September.
