Have you heard the news about your local Starbucks?
Your favorite local coffee shop has already closed or will close this year, as the coffee giant has already shut down dozens of locations by the end of 2023.
Recently, the Starbucks Everywhere website released a list of the stores that have permanently closed. While losing a local Starbucks might help you keep more money in your wallet, it probably won’t feel like a reason to celebrate.
