Starbucks permanently closes Seattle Reserve Roastery

Starbucks is permanently closing their popular Seattle Reserve Roastery in Capitol Hill.

The coffee chain also announced that it will be “reducing non-retail headcount and expenses” by laying off 900 “current non-retail partner roles and close many open positions.”

That same morning, the following sign could be seen posted on the door of the Starbucks Reserve Roastery on Pike Street:

KIRO 7 has reached out to Starbucks to see how many locations are set to close in the greater Seattle area, and across Western Washington.
