What’s Happening at Starbucks?

Starbucks is eliminating approximately 900 non-retail employees as part of a restructuring.

In addition to the workforce reduction, the coffee giant is planning to close underperforming stores in Canada and the United States.

“Each year, we open and close coffeehouses for a variety of reasons, from financial performance to lease expirations,” CEO Brian Niccol said in a letter to staff.

Starbucks will reportedly share the stores that it plans to close in the coming days.
