Starbucks announced it will close about 250 underperforming locations across North America. Chief Operating Officer Mike Grams told staff in a memo that a review found many stores cannot consistently deliver adequate financial performance or customer experiences. The closures represent just over 1% of Starbucks' more than 18,000 North American locations. The company said it will offer affected employees transfers where possible and severance when no other position is available.
