Starbucks to close another 250 shops in North America

Starbucks will close 250 underperforming coffeehouses in North America, the company said in a regulatory filing, as CEO Brian Niccol pushes forward with his turnaround push to revive sales.
The announcement comes a year after Starbucks shut down several underperforming stores in the region, including its iconic Seattle roastery, in a restructuring effort that was estimated to cost the company about US$1 billion.
The company disclosed that the fresh closures will result in about US$300 million in restructuring charges, and represent about 1% of its roughly 18,000 stores in North America.
It plans to finish most of the closures by the end of fiscal year 2026.
Starbucks also expects fiscal 2026 global net new store openings for company-operated and licensed coffeehouses to be about 440, compared with its earlier target of 600 to 650 openings.
