The company said it's changing to fit the needs of the communities it serves, which means closing stores that aren't popular and opening ones where they're needed.
"Each year as a standard course of business, we evaluate the store portfolio to determine where we can best meet our community and customers’ needs," a Starbucks spokesperson said in a statement. "This includes opening new locations, identifying stores in need of investment or renovation, exploring locations where an alternative format is needed and, in some instances, re-evaluating our footprint."
The employees impacted by the closures will be given the opportunity to work at other locations, the company said.
Starbucks said it has opened or re-opened three locations in the city in the past six months.
