According to an article that appeared in the The New Times, distributed by All Africa Media, Starbucks is to start selling Rwandan textiles and baskets in its stores this summer.
It appears that a deal was signed recently with L’Usine Textile du Rwanda (Utexrwa) by Howard Schultz during his visit to Rwanda in June this year (looks like the Gulfstream is getting some use!). According to the report, a Starbucks office was also opened, the first on the continent.
