In a significant restructuring effort, Starbucks has announced plans to close hundreds of stores across the United States, impacting at least six locations in Tucson, numerous establishments in the Twin Cities, and various shops in major cities like Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco. As part of this initiative, the coffee giant is set to lay off approximately 900 workers and take a $1 billion financial hit. The closures will affect a wide array of states, including Oregon, Massachusetts, and New Orleans. Starbucks is focusing on shuttering underperforming locations as part of a strategy to revamp its operations and address shifting consumer patterns. Customers and employees are encouraged to check local listings to find out which stores are closing, amidst a backdrop of significant layoffs and corporate restructuring.
