Filtered out: NYC Starbucks locations to shutter amid coffee giant’s ongoing nation-wide closures, hundreds of layoffs
News
All Trouble is brewing for the country’s most famous coffee brand, as Starbucks announced it will lay off 900 workers and close down shops across the country, including dozens in NYC, some of which are unionized. The Big Apple closures follow a Thursday announcement from Starbucks that it plans to shutdown select shops as part of a review of its coffee houses in North America. The goal of the review is for every coffeehouse to deliver a “warm and welcoming space,” according to a public statement from Starbucks chairman and CEO Brian Niccol. “During the review, we identified coffeehouses where we’re unable to create the physical environment our customers and partners expect, or where we don’t see a path to financial performance, and these locations will be closed,” Niccol said in the announcement.
