Consumption of coffee has been increasing year by year because of some of it?s features like activator effects, socialization and setting-up societies. In the last century, activities of global coffee companies like retail chain Starbucks, Gloria Jeans Coffees and the largest multinational coffee buyer Nestlé also help increase coffee consumption.Since 2000, chain coffee shops located in the shopping centers and in the busy streets loom large in Turkish society. Furthermore, many new local or foreign coffee shops have opened day by day. This development has been concluded in the growth by 300 percent in 2006.The argument in this thesis is that, the global coffee companies have got big success in Turkey due to their global marketing strategies which they have applied. According to the consumer oriented marketing approach, to take place and to promote in foreign markets are just possible with some marketing strategies like standardization and adaptation. Implementing standardization and adaptation marketing strategies together bring development and growth to the Turkish coffee market.
