Starbucks is back in growth mode, months after closing hundreds of locations, laying off corporate employees and redesigning its cafes as part of a multiyear turnaround.

The Seattle-based coffee chain plans to open 600 to 650 locations across the globe this year, driven by rising customer visits that are expected to boost global store sales by at least 3% this year.
