Starbucks Corp. plans to expand coffee delivery across the U.S. with UberEats as part of a broader strategy to try to reach more customers.

The coffee chain, which has been facing slowing traffic to its domestic coffee shops, on Thursday outlined its growth plans for investors gathered in New York.

Starbucks began testing delivery in Miami with UberEats in September and will begin offering it in nearly a quarter of its more than 8,000 U.S. company-operated stores early next year.
