Two Fresno Starbucks locations are among roughly 250 stores the coffee chain plans to close across North America this week, according to a list compiled by WTHR.
The Fresno stores are at 704 W. Shaw Ave. in Fig Garden Village and 2635 E. Shaw Ave., near Fresno State.
Starbucks said the closures represent about 1% of its more than 18,000 North American coffeehouses. The company reviewed its store portfolio and identified locations where it could not provide the customer experience it wants or saw no path to acceptable financial performance.
Starbucks said it will seek to transfer employees to stores when possible, WTHR reported. Workers who cannot be placed elsewhere will receive severance support.
