A new coffee shop has opened up in the place of Starbucks' former flagship store in Moscow Russia, it's called Stars Coffee, and it looks very familiar to Starbucks.

Starbucks pulled out of Russia along with hundreds of other companies due to the unprovoked attacks on Ukraine, and it didn't take long for Russian entrepreneurs to start opening up similar stores in place of those who left.

Stars Coffee is pretty much a direct parody of Starbucks, Stars even has a very similar logo but instead of the Starbucks siren, it's a woman wearing a star-emblazoned kokoshnik. Also On the new website for the store "which went live Thursday" Stars posted "Bucks left. Stars have Stayed" in what we assume is an attempt to throw shade at Starbucks.
