Starbucks store closings: 59 unionized locations on doomed list in company restructuring

The coffee chain is closing 1% of its North American stores by the end of 2025, prompting employees to crowdsource lists of locations marked for closure.

On the heels of Starbucks’s recent announcement that it will be cutting 900 corporate roles and closing 1% of its North American stores by the end of 2025 (after accounting for both new openings and closures), Starbucks Workers United said Tuesday that 59 of those locations marked for closure are unionized.
