Several Starbucks locations in the Greater Seattle area are slated to close this weekend.

The shutterings are part of a cull that kicked off Thursday with an announcement by CEO Brian Niccol that the Seattle-based coffee giant will close an unspecified number of stores and lay off 900 nonretail employees as part of a $1 billion restructuring plan.

Two Seattle stores, the Reserve Roastery on Capitol Hill and Reserve store in Sodo, abruptly closed Thursday at the same time as the announcement.

Friday is the final day to stop by the Fifth and Columbia store at 800 Fifth Ave. in Seattle. A worker confirmed the closure.

According to the Starbucks website, Saturday is the last day of operations at the following locations:

Fourth and Diagonal: 4115 Fourth Ave. S., Seattle

Workers at 14 out of 17 sites confirmed their individual stores will shutter.

A Starbucks spokesperson didn’t respond to a request to confirm the above closures, which are taking place before the 2025 fiscal year ends on Sunday, Sept. 28.

Workers United, the union that represents 650 Starbucks stores and about 12,000 baristas, also didn’t respond to a request for a list of affected stores.

Starbucks’ restructuring plan comes as the coffee giant tries to navigate pressures from investors to continue growing, while building a more efficient business model. In the third quarter, the company reported increased revenue and decreased profit, compared to the same quarter last year.

“As part of getting Back to Starbucks, we’ve looked at every coffeehouse in North America to see if each can deliver the kind of experience our partners and customers deserve, and thrive long term,” the company wrote in a Thursday memo. “In some cases, across the U.S. and Canada, the answer was no. In our hometown, that means closing some locations.”

A Starbucks spokesperson said Thursday that the company is committed to opening more locations in the Seattle area in fiscal 2026.

“From the cobblestones of Pike Place Market to the neighborhoods that shaped our culture, this city has been our compass,” the company’s statement continued.
