I did not know that there is a UNIQLO store in Milan ( 2019 apparently ), thanks for correcting me. The general point stands.
I wrote that there is ONE Starbucks, just opened in 2022 in ROME and that's literally a fact, I can see where you might misinterpret my sentence -- I was speaking of Rome. I do mention this is the third capital of the EU and in a G7 country and this is unusual, Starbucks being what it is. And yes, half a dozen more in all of Italy, again, proving the point. There are more in a single city in many other EU countries.
There's a dozen of them in and around Vienna, a much smaller capital also with a great tradition of coffeeshops, for comparison. But a place with much less aversion than Italy to foreign businesses.
I am not smug or care for karma / rewards / validation. I care for truth and not taking facts as opinions.
