Starbucks Closes 7 Stores This Month—Look Here

By the end of this month, San Francisco Starbucks fans will not have as many options for getting their coffee fix.

The chain has announced that it will close seven stores in California on October 22.

The exact reasons why the company decided to close the stores weren't immediately clear.

Every year, the company looks at its stores and makes changes to better serve its customers.

The closing San Francisco Starbucks locations' addresses are:

201 Mission Street 442 Geary Street 425 Battery Street 398 Market Street

780 Market Street 555 California Street 1401 Van Ness Avenue

The seven cafes' closures will reduce Starbucks lovers' options, but the city will still have 52 locations.

The company has established or renovated three downtown San Francisco locations in six months and is refurbishing four more.

Starbucks closed six locations in Seattle, six in Los Angeles, two in Portland, Ore., one in Philadelphia, Pa., and one in Washington, D.C.

Starbucks closed those outlets due to a rise in crime, including drug usage, making them unsafe for employees and customers.
