Starbucks Corporation has extended its licensing agreement with vending services supplier Selecta.

Under the agreement, the Swiss firm will gain the rights to develop and operate a premium self-serve coffee concept called Starbucks on the go.  

Designed to replicate the experience of a Starbucks coffee house, Selecta will offer Starbucks beverages from a self-serve machine, complete with Starbucks branding.

Starbucks says that the self-serve counters will help it tap into promising markets such as office, university and hospital channels.
