Starbucks to Close 600 Stores

Starbucks will close about 600 underperforming stores in the coming months.

So I called up Starbucks corporate to find out if any store closing would hit the South Bay. This is the response I got from one of their PR people:

"Details for specific locations are still being finalized. The stores identified for closure are spread across all major U.S. markets with approximately 70 percent of them opened since fiscal 2006. Out of respect and dignity for our partners, and our desire to share this information with impacted partners first, we are not publishing a full list of the stores."

Here's a link to the story.
