Starbucks releases list of stores to close

by Marisa McClellan, Posted Jul 19th 2008 @ 10:01AM

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.

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

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.
