Starbucks announced Sept. 25 it will close 1% of its coffee shops, eliminate about 900 employees from non-retail partner roles, and freeze many open positions, according to a letter from CEO Brian Niccol.
Starbucks has not released an official list of stores it will close, but with over 18,000 coffeehouses in North America, the 1% closure will impact about 180 locations.
The company will update its app with that information on Sept. 28, Starbucks told USA Today, but it had not done so as of 9 a.m..
Here’s what to know about why Starbucks stores will close and where to find Starbucks on the Treasure Coast.
Why is Starbucks closing stores?
The specialty coffee chain will close specific locations “where we’re unable to create the physical environment our customers and partners expect, or where we don’t see a path to financial performance,” Niccol said in the memo sent to employees and posted on the Starbucks blog.
