This is the real reason, even though it's less exciting. They're restructuring because sales aren't good. Lots of stores are getting closed, but even more (around 1,000) are being renovated for the same reason.
They expanded way too much, the coffee is too expensive and not high enough quality, and more people are using drive throughs according to what I’ve heard recently.
A town I drove by had to put up "No Waiting on Public Road" signs because the Starbucks drive-throughs can only queue up to five cars max. All the fatasses refuse to exit their vehicles, so they end up spilling into traffic.
Overpriced shitty coffee?
