Starbucks is set to implement a significant restructuring plan that will involve the closure of hundreds of stores and the layoff of approximately 900 workers. Locations across Massachusetts, California, Oregon, Wisconsin, Texas, and several other states are among those affected. This move comes amid a company-wide assessment aimed at revamping operations and improving profitability, with specific stores in major metropolitan areas such as San Francisco, Boston, and Seattle among those confirmed for closure. The decision has prompted emotional reactions from both customers and employees, as the coffee giant navigates financial challenges and shifts in the market landscape.
