Starbucks to close 16 St. Louis-area stores
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Starbucks Corp. has named 16 company-owned stores in the St. Louis area that it plans to close. Starbucks currently has about 80 stores in the St. Louis area.
Earlier this month, the company announced that it would close 600 company-owned stores in the U.S. starting in July and continuing through the first half of the next fiscal year. (Map of stores closing across the nation.)
Starbucks had been aggressively expanding in the St. Louis area and across the nation. But the company has seen its profits decline as a faltering economy led some consumers to cut back on spending.
