When asked why the company decided to close these stores, a Starbucks spokesperson said it was part of a larger evaluation of their store portfolio.
“Each year as a standard course of business, we evaluate the store portfolio to determine where we can best meet our community and customers’ needs,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “This includes opening new locations, identifying stores in need of investment or renovation, exploring locations where an alternative format is needed and, in some instances, re-evaluating our footprint.”
Starbucks has also opened three new stores in downtown San Francisco in the last six months and is renovating four other locations, the spokesperson said.Restaurants, Food and Drink |Citing rising costs and crime, Oakland’s Irish pub Slainte makes ‘heartbreaking’ decision to close “We remain dedicated to investing in the City in meaningful and important ways that meet our partners and customers where they are – in the best way we know how,” wrote Jessica Borton, Starbucks’ regional vice president for Northern California, in an internal memo shared with CNN.
