Starbucks Closing 150 Locations: 

The coffee chain says it’s closing locations in “densely penetrated markets” — which could include any of the 89 Long Island locations.

Starbucks, the ubiquitous coffee chain, announced late Tuesday it plans to close an anticipated 150 locations by the end of 2019. While the company has not yet said which locations will close, a notice to investors said the closures will affect “underperforming company-operated stores in its most densely penetrated markets” in urban areas.

New York has more than 640 Starbucks locations, according to Spoon University; that is about one location per 30,837 people.

Long Island has a total of 89 Starbucks in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Starbucks on Tuesday said the anticipated 150 store closings is up from a historical average of 50 closings per year. The company expects same-store sales to grow just 1 percent in the next quarter.

Starbucks announced it will continue to grow the number of company-owned stores in the U.S., but at a slightly slower rate in the next fiscal year.

Patch has learned that there are more than 9,000 company-owned stores and more than 14,000 stores that are either company-owned or licensed in the U.S.

“Our recent performance does not reflect the potential of our exceptional brand and is not acceptable,” Kevin Johnson, Starbucks president and CEO, said in a statement. “We must move faster to address the more rapidly changing preferences and needs of our customers. Over the past year we have taken several actions to streamline the company, positioning us to increase our innovation agility as an organization and enhance focus on our core value drivers which serve as the foundation to re-accelerate growth and create long-term shareholder value.”

Starbucks said it is “optimizing its U.S. store portfolio at a more rapid pace” in fiscal year 2019, ” including shifting new company-operated store growth to under-penetrated markets, slowing licensed store growth” and closing the 150 underperforming stores.
