[ggnl]

They're closing 2 of the 3 stores here. Where will I get my overpriced lattes now?!?

 

[darkxshade]

only 5 in NYC :shocked: I guess the NYC locations are pulling in dough cuz I see them on every corner.

 

[nakedfrog]

Wow, I think they're closing every stand-alone *$ in my state.

 

[archiloco]

only closing 1 out of 4 here..not bad but it sucks for them because they where closed for 7 months because of mold problem....and they just opened back up 4-5 months ago....sucks

 

[0roo0roo]

only 3 in the bay area...less than i thought as well, and thats 3 outa a bajillion we have

 

[Gooberlx2]

Huh, I'm a little surprised they're pulling the one at 16th and Wynkoop, in Colorado. The 16th St mall in Downtown Denver probably has more foot traffic than 90% of their other stores in the state....oh wait, maybe it's because they have a store on every fucking block there.

 

[TruePaige]

They are closing one here that they just opened 2 months ago..0.o

 

[phoenix79]

Only 1 going away here and it in a mall that has been going downhill for a while

 

[Queasy]

There's 10 closing in the metro Atlanta area. I've already got like 7 Starbucks within a 5 mile radius of my house. Now I'll be down to a mere 5!

 

[Turkish]

Wow what the hell is wrong with U.S. economy? Here in Istanbul they opened 6 or 7 Starbucks in a year on the SAME STREET.

On the other hand I am saddened about them closing L and 21st in DC as I used to visit that store often when I walked from my apartment in Georgetown to my office on H and 19th. Oh well.

It's not the economy, I think, so much as Starbucks went on a building spree and overbuilt. I've seen multiple Starbucks in the same plazas, on opposite corners, etc. These all provide an initial sales boost that helps the bottom line but they do nothing to help in the long-run.

 

[preCRT]

I've been to several of the 7 they are closing in MA.

Of those, 2 have nearly impossible parking, 2 are in crappy malls, 1 is in a crappy area. Not sure about the other 2.

 

[conehead433]

I don't see why anyone is surprised. It's not like your high priced cup of coffee is something you have to have. Starbuck's business model is tailored to a thriving economy. Consumers will quickly give up their coffee fix if they can't afford to drive to one. I guess they were trying to fix that by having one on every corner. Nevermind that their product isn't worth what they are charging for it.

 

[Kaido]

They closed all of the Macaroni Grills in my area. I had a gift card

 

[middlehead]

Closing 3 of 7 in my town.

 

[scott916]

Lulz they closed the one right in the middle of the hood in Sac.

Srsly, when I first heard that they were closing a lot of locations, I assumed most of the ones here in Manhattan since there's one on every block. Good thing to know that I'll still be able to get my chai from all the locations by my work and home.

 

[FeuerFrei]

Guess the ones around here are too new to close.
There's 3 now. Two under a year old.

 

[Nightfall]

I am not a coffee drinker, but I do like their Strawberries and Creme Frappachino. $5 for a large though is painful so I only get one about every 1-2 months.

 

[PricklyPete]

Only 1 in the great state of SC...

 

[Deeko]

3241 DENNY & AURORA 620 DENNY WAY SEATTLE WA

That's just 2 blocks away from me. WHAT WILL I DO????

Oh, right, there's about 11 starbucks in my neighborhood - my neighborhood of like 5x6 blocks. Not to mention multiple Seattle's Bests, Tullys, Uptown Espressos (one of them in the 1st floor of my apartment!).....

I hate this city.

 

[EagleKeeper]

One being closed in North Las Vegas was only opened up last year. New building

And they are closing the one at UNLV - some one think of the students!

 

[Saint Nick]

They are closing one that opened only a few months ago here. Closing about four in the Omaha area.

Interesting.

 

[Oil]

Wow, they are closing a lot in Baton Rouge
