Starbucks
Starbucks announced in the summer that 150 underperforming stores would be permanently closed. This is three times the amount it normally closes at the end of a fiscal year. However, the company stated that the closures would have an impact on large cities with oversaturated markets. The coffee chain branches are simply competing against one another in those areas.
