It also identified the stores where the company didn&#8217;t see a path to financial performance. As a result of this review, those select Starbucks locations will be closed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Each year, we open and close coffeehouses for a variety of reasons, from financial performance to lease expirations,&#8221; Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol announced on Thursday. &#8220;This is a more significant action that we understand will impact partners and customers. Our coffeehouses are centers of the community, and closing any location is difficult.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Niccol said affected workers will be offered positions at other nearby stores.<\/p>\n<p>CBS News Philadelphia confirmed five of those locations are in Philadelphia.

This comes as part of the company&#8217;s plans to invest more into customer service, increase staffing in stores and store design. Starbucks said non-retail employees will be offered severance packages and extended benefits.<\/p>\n<p>The coffee chain expects its North American store count to decline by about 1% and to have nearly 18,300 company-operated stores across the U.S. and Canada by the end of fiscal year 2025.<\/p>\n<p>      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/search\/author\/jessica-macaulay\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jessica  MacAulay<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Jessica MacAulay is a digital producer for CBSPhiladelphia.com.
