Starbucks closed the two stores that I use most often: the one closest to my home and the one closest to my work.

It makes me strangely sad. I don't even like Starbucks that much, but it was convenient to be able to order ahead and pick it up right before work, or right before getting home.

Sounds like an opportunity for a good local coffee shop.

There are plenty of great local joints, but Starbucks was my go-to for the order-ahead, pick up fast option. Honestly, I'm surprised they're shutting down---the stores always seemed pretty busy. Guess the $20 minimum wage was just too much.

Cool, my guess is they just over-expanded. Its so common for companies like this to do and then right-size. Starbucks feels like it has reached saturation to me.

Yeah there is one on almost every block. I just wish they shut down the one two blocks away instead of the one I go to haha
