"When Starbucks announced on Thursday that it would shutter more than 100 coffeehouse locations across North America, the company didn't publicly specify which stores would close. So, Business Insider has begun creating a list compiled from accounts from affected in-store staff members, reporter visits, and verification through the Starbucks "store locator" feature. While incomplete, it begins to show which neighborhoods and states are most affected by the closures."
"When reached for comment by Business Insider, Starbucks pointed to a message it's sending its customers about the store closures: "We know this isn't just any store to customers. It's their coffeehouse, a place woven into their daily rhythm, where memories were made, and where meaningful connections with our partners grew over the years. We're deeply grateful for the communities that have been built.""
Starbucks will close more than 100 North American stores, about 1% of its footprint. The company did not publicly identify which locations would close. A compiled list of affected addresses is being assembled using accounts from in-store staff, reporter visits, and verification via the Starbucks "store locator" feature. The list is incomplete but begins to reveal which neighborhoods and states face the most closures. Starbucks issued a message acknowledging that many customers view stores as daily gathering places, expressing gratitude for the communities built at those coffeehouses. Initial entries include multiple locations in California, the District of Columbia, and Maryland.
