The shops Starbucks does open will be be more focused on to-go business, with more mobile pick-up, curbside, and drive-thru locations. Starbucks plans to close up to 400 stores across the US, as the coffee giant prepares for the new normal after the pandemic forced the chain to temporarily close locations.
In addition to closures, Starbucks has slowed its plans to open new stores this year. The chain plans to open roughly 300 net new locations this year, down from the original expectation of 600. "Our vision is that each large city in the U.S. will ultimately have a mix of traditional Starbucks cafés and Starbucks Pickup locations," Starbucks said on Wednesday.
