Jan 28 (Reuters) - Starbucks SBUX.O reported a bigger-than-expected rise in first-quarter comparable sales on Wednesday, as demand rebounded in the U.S. after nearly two years in early signs of success of CEO Brian Niccol's turnaround efforts.
The company reported a 4% rise in quarterly global comparable sales, compared with estimates of 2.25%, according to data compiled by LSEG.
