Square Partners with Starbucks to Expand Mobile Payments

Love 'em or hate 'em, Starbucks is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to retail, and it's exactly what a burgeoning mobile payment provider like Square needs to rapidly accelerate its own business.

Square has announced a groundbreaking partnership with retail coffee giant Starbucks which promises to "stimulate small business growth and enhance payment experience for millions of customers."

The deal will expand the fledgling Pay with Square service to "participating company-operated U.S. Starbucks stores" later this fall, and those same locations will also be available in searches from the Square Directory. The move lands Square-based payments in approximately 7,000 Starbucks stores across the country.
