Starbucks list of store closures in California

LOS ANGELES - Dozens of Starbucks locations are closing across California. 

This comes after the Seattle-based coffee chain announced mass closures across the U.S., Canada, and Europe as part of its new "transformation strategy."

What we know:

The chain will close specific locations "where we’re unable to create the physical environment our customers and partners expect, or where we don’t see a path to financial performance," CEO Brian Niccol said in the memo sent to employees and posted on the Starbucks blog.

A public Google sheet has over 200 entries marking likely closures as of late Sept. 25 and a Reddit thread of likely closures has over 230 comments.

The unofficial list contained in the Google Sheet shows 188 locations marked as closing in the U.S., with the bulk of California store closures in Los Angeles.
