These 6 Starbucks around Sacramento are closing amid coffee chain’s restructuring
At least six Starbucks stores in the capital region are among those slated to close this weekend, as the company shutters underperforming locations across North America and eliminates 900 non-retail jobs.
In a statement Thursday, CEO Brian Niccol said Starbucks had identified stores that were not meeting financial targets or where the company was “unable to create the physical environment” expected by customers and employees. Workers may be transferred to nearby stores or offered severance, he said.
A company spokesperson said Friday that he did not have information about specific locations affected. He said stores would have signage noting the impending closure, and customers would be notified by email.
On the company’s website, store hours at several Sacramento-area locations were shown as “closed” beginning Saturday or Sunday. They were:
- 2121 Natomas Crossing Dr. in Natomas Crossing
- 2345 Arden Way in Arden Arcade
- 2119 Fulton Ave. in Arden Arcade
- 4000 Foothills Boulevard in Roseville
- 623 Second St. in Davis
- 2095 Golden Center Lane in Gold River
The Davis store voted to unionize just last month, becoming the 58th store in the state to join Starbucks Workers United — part of a national organizing push led by baristas seeking better pay, fairer schedules, and safer staffing levels.
Seattle-based Starbucks expects to finish its fiscal year, which ends Tuesday, with around 18,300 stores in the U.S. and Canada. Niccol said more than 1,000 locations will be upgraded this year as part of an effort to refresh store designs and reintroduce features removed during the pandemic.
