Demand is rebounding at Starbucks, signaling that CEO Brian ​Niccol's turnaround efforts are working. The company said on Wednesday that sales at North American stores open for at least a year rose by 4%. This growth was mainly due to a 3% increase in purchases from existing customers and a 1% increase in the average amount spent per transaction. That's the first uptick in store sales in eight quarters. Globally, sales at stores also rose 4% as existing customers bought more and spent slightly more per purchase.STARBUCKS ROLLS OUT CHANGES, INCLUDING FREE REFILLS; BRINGS BACK CONDIMENT BARSThe...
