Companies Closing Locations Through 2026

Starbucks has announced plans to close approximately 90 underperforming locations worldwide as part of a broader effort to streamline operations through 2026. The closures primarily affect slower-growth markets and overlapping locations, as the company works to rebalance its global store footprint.

Company leadership says the move is intended to improve efficiency and refocus resources on higher-performing stores, digital ordering, and drive-thru formats. Starbucks continues to invest heavily in mobile ordering, loyalty programs, and international expansion, even as it trims parts of its physical retail presence.
