Fall is approaching, and you know what that means? For Starbucks lovers like me, it means that the PSL, also known as the Pumpkin Spice Latte, is making a comeback. With sales of $20 million each year, the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte has a dedicated fan base of its own.
Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Release Date Revealed
Mark your calendars because it is coming to the US and Canada on August 26. Yes, the dates are not that far for US and Canadian PSL lovers. After all, there was a 33.8% increase in searches for pumpkin spice in the year 2014. So, it makes sense that the launch is happening there first.
How The Craze For Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Started
Regardless of location, the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte has become a cultural phenomenon. Thank god it did, because it was started as a project and launched and sold in 100 stores in Vancouver and Washington, DC only. Luckily, the people loved it so much, and the sales started to boost. Fast forward, now people from across the globe are getting to drink it.
Starbucks CEO also said that the introduction of seasonal drinks was a strategy that worked since Starbucks was struggling for some time.
This could be due to a number of factors, but the growing competition from Dunkin’ played a major part. However, this seasonal beverage turned their business upside down in a good way becuase now 10% sales from seasonal staples and PSL play a major part in it.
Interesting Facts About Starbucks Spice Latte
What shocked me even more is that this is the earliest Starbucks has ever announced the launch dates of any of its seasonal drinks. I guess it is a good idea since users get to know about the launch dates through Reddit and Quora anyway. So, getting it known officially is a refreshing turn of events.
‘PSL’ or ‘Pumpkin Spice Latte’ is one of the most searched terms on Google, and of course, I have some contribution to it as well. However, the credit does not belong to me alone. All PSL lovers have made this early launch date update possible.
