As Shayna (and every major media outlet) noted a couple weeks ago, Starbucks is going to be closing just over 600 stores (616 to be exact) over the next year. Yesterday, they announced which stores, across 44 states and the District of Columbia, are going to get the axe. California, Florida, New York and Texas are losing the highest number of stores. The list on the Huffington Post is searchable, which makes it easy for you to check out and see if your local store will be closing.

Thanks for the link. I'm bummed to be losing one that I like. And more sorry for all the employees who will be out of work.

Kitt, it is a bummer. They are closing one in Portland, OR that I was always very fond of. I did hear them say that they will try to find jobs in the remaining stores for the employees who work in the closing stores.

I would be happy if they closed 600 stores every month.

Here in North Alabama we have only recently started to see Starbucks stores (as opposed to the kiosks in Target stores or the branded coffee in the Barnes and Noble). We are losing one of our three Starbucks. However, the one that is closing is in a mall that was a questionable location at best. Our local coffee spots don't seem to have suffered from Starbuck's entry into the market.
