The list of 64 California locations comes from Starbucks superfan and data tracker Winter, who has spent decades trying to visit every company-operated Starbucks in the world, according to SFGate. He also used the app to compile the list.
Starbucks has not confirmed the California locations individually.
The 64 reported California store closures represent 2.1% of the state’s locations, and it is unknown if any employees will be laid off since Starbucks plans to transfer workers to nearby stores.

The California closures are part of Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol’s “Back to Starbucks” strategy, which debuted in 2024.
Starbucks announced that its iconic “red cups” will return to stores. Starbucks
In a letter to employees, Chief Operating Officer Mike Grams said Starbucks had identified locations where the company did not believe it could consistently deliver the experience it wanted for customers and partners or where it did not see a path to acceptable financial performance.
Starbucks plans to close 250 stores across the US and Canada in the coming days. The cuts represent roughly 1% of the company’s North American footprint.
The company is also taking a $300 million restructuring charge and launching a $1 billion restructuring and renovation effort.
Starbucks is on track to retrofit and “uplift” 1,500 existing North American coffeehouses by Sept. 30.
