Any Polk Starbucks Closing?

Posted by Josh Hallett on July 8, 2008 at 09:24 AM

You may have read that Starbucks will be closing close to 600 stores. Will any of the stores in Polk County close? Officially Starbucks has declined to list the stores, but the Seattle Times has created an interactive map listing stores that *might* be closing. The info comes from employees and other sources.

As of now, there are no closings listed in Florida, but I assume that will change. Do any local employees know???

Comments

Only one--the one in the Lakeland Square Mall on 98. The full list is available on the Starbucks site now. It appears that most of the closings are within malls not freestanding stores. Very interesting.
