In a letter to employees posted on the company&#8217;s website, Starbucks Chief Operating Officer Mike Grams said that his team has &#8220;identified locations where we do not believe we can consistently deliver the experience we want for customers and partners or where we don&#8217;t see a path to acceptable financial performance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The letter, however, did not formally list the 250 locations slated for closure.

And while locations in many Bay Area cities, including Millbrae, San Jose and San Carlos, appear on the list, there are no locations listed in San Francisco proper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A spot-check of California locations from the list by SFGATE, using the same app methodology, finds the same results: each California store&#8217;s listed business hours show only as closed in the coming days.
