The Fifth and Robinson store is closing June 29, with a representative saying the ability to create a safe and welcoming environment for employees and for customers is not attainable at this time.
SAN DIEGO - The Starbucks store on Fifth and Robinson avenues in Hillcrest has been a fixture in the neighborhood for a very long time.
“Me and all my coworkers, we go there regularly before we start work, like on our breaks and everything like that,” Clark said. “And we’ve gotten to know all of the employees in there. It’s really sad to see them go; I understand why they have to.” Benjamin Nicholls, executive director of the Hillcrest Business Association, told ABC 10News what they’re hearing, despite being a profitable store, is there’s a lot of pressure for employees to deal with when it comes to the homelessness situation in the area.
The Starbucks spokesperson also told ABC 10News the cause of not being able to provide that safe and welcoming environment is a comprehensive evaluation of store factors -- not specifically tied to homelessness or those who are homeless.
