Starbucks' Blonde roast sales in Canada have exceeded the company's expectations, with twice as many people per capita drinking it than in the U.S.

Starbucks Canada says it will undergo the largest expansion this year in the company?s 26-year history, with plans to open more than 150 stores across the country.

The growth of the Seattle-based Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX) subsidiary comes in part thanks to Target Corp., which will open Starbucks outlets in many of the 124 Canadian locations it plans to open in 2013. Starbucks Canada said the expansion is also a response to the success it has seen since launching its Blonde roast last year.

With more than 1,200 locations, Canada is Starbucks? biggest international market.
