Nearly 20 Boston-area Starbucks closing, including iconic location
Several Starbucks stores in the Boston area are slated to close, including one of the city’s most iconic locations—beneath the steaming kettle at Government Center.
The closures are part of Starbucks’ broader, billion-dollar turnaround plan aimed at reshaping operations and improving long-term performance.
“Each year, we open and close coffeehouses for a variety of reasons, from financial performance to lease expirations,” said Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol. “This is a more significant action that we understand will impact partners and customers.”
In addition to the store closures, the company announced it will eliminate 900 corporate roles as part of the restructuring effort.
