Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino Fuels Record Sales Weekend

Starbucks has announced a significant milestone, reporting its best same-store sales growth in years. The company achieved a record-setting weekend, selling more than 2 million beverages. This remarkable sales performance was largely driven by the popular return of the Unicorn Frappuccino, a blended drink that first gained a cult following in 2017.

Customers across North America embraced the nostalgic drink, participating in themed experiences. This success led to Saturday becoming Starbucks' biggest sales day ever in the region. The company's fiscal 2026 third quarter, ending June 28, also showed strong recovery with net revenue of $9.3 billion and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.85, up 70%.
