There is no reason for a company like Starbucks to move its retail locations to avoid taxes. They might move other facilities such as corporate offices or manufacturing, but the stores themselves are either profitable or not and it can only serve the local area anyway. They can't sell cappuccinos to London commuters from a store in the Netherlands. They only leave if they can't make money at all. Although taxes may dissuade them from expanding, if the capital can have better return elsewhere.
