In a June filing, Starbucks said it had 11,453 company-operated stores in North America. Thus, a 1% drop would equate to a net loss of approximately 115 stores.<\/p>\n<p>Niccol said that the company will be making an effort to relocate affected employees, who will be notified of store closings this week. For those people who cannot be relocated, Niccol said the company is &#8220;focused on partner care including comprehensive severance packages.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the corporate side, the company is \u201cfurther reducing non-retail headcount,\u201d including eliminating 900 positions and closing many open positions. The round of layoffs follows Starbucks&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycoffeenews.com\/2025\/02\/24\/starbucks-coffee-is-laying-off-1100-corporate-employees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">elimination of some 1,100 additional jobs<\/a> in February of this year.<\/p>\n<p>All these decisions are part of Starbucks&#8217; broader financial turnaround plan under the leadership of Niccol, who was <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycoffeenews.com\/2024\/08\/13\/lax-narasimhan-out-as-starbucks-ceo-chipotles-brian-niccol-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appointed CEO one year ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These steps are to reinforce what we see is working and prioritize our resources against them,&#8221; Niccol said. &#8220;Early results from coffeehouse uplifts show customers visiting more often, staying longer and sharing positive feedback. Where we\u2019ve invested in more green apron partner hours so that there are more partners working at busy times, we saw improvements in transactions, sales and service times, alongside happier, more engaged partners.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><i>Comments?
