Which Starbucks locations closed? See list - USA Today
Starbucks closed about 250 locations in the United States and Canada last week.
Starbucks Chief Operating Officer Mike Grams wrote in a public letter that the coffee chain closes locations each year, and the recent closures represent about 1% of Starbucks' more than 18,000 North America coffeeshops.

"We’re making this decision for a simple reason: We want every Starbucks coffeehouse to be a place customers love and partners are proud to work," Grams wrote in his letter.
