Starbucks [SBUX] is closing more local storefronts, in keeping with the continuing economic downturn.
The Washington Business Journal reported yesterday that eight more stores are closing in the DC area, including two that I have visited on occasion. This is in line with the continuing additional waves of storefront closings and staff reductions worldwide.
N.B.
Starbucks has an updated list of storefront closings.
