US food giant Starbucks has denied reports of its plans to venture into the Kenyan market, offering relief to coffee house chains currently operating in the competitive casual dining segment.

The firm, which also abandoned plans to open a research and a support centre in central Kenya in 2009, Monday told the Business Daily that it would not be opening any new outlet in Nairobi soon contrary to speculation in local media.
