Starbucks will close about 1% of its locations in the United States and North America and cut about 900 jobs as part of its Back to Starbucks transformation strategy, CEO Brian Niccol told employees Thursday, September 25.
\nThe Seattle-based coffee giant did not provide a list of closing locations. However, the company will have about 18,300 coffee shops when its fiscal year closes at the end of this month, down from 18,734, according to its most recent quarterly earnings release. That means Starbucks will have about 430 fewer locations in the United States and Canada than it did as of June 29, 2025.
\nThe specialty coffee chain will close specific locations “where we\u2019re unable to create the physical environment our customers and partners expect, or where we don\u2019t see a path to financial performance,” Niccol said in the memo sent to employees and posted on the Starbucks blog.
\nEmployees at closing locations will be notified this week and will be eligible for transfer to nearby locations, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
