In case you missed it
Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol released a statement on Sept. 25 detailing the company’s plans for the future.
“Our overall company-operated count in North America will decline by about 1% in fiscal year 2025 after accounting for both openings and closures,” Niccol said in the statement.
While the business did not specify the exact number of locations that will close, two in the San Antonio area have already shut down.
The location at 18154 Blanco Road in North San Antonio has permanently closed and no longer appears on the Starbucks store locator tool.
Additionally, a storefront at 8407 Bandera Road on the city’s west side is no longer in operation.

Along with shop closures, Niccol also detailed plans to reduce staff numbers in the statement.
“This includes the difficult decision to eliminate approximately 900 current non-retail partner roles and close many open positions,” he said.
However, Niccol did mention that approximately 1,000 locations will be renovated to add “greater texture, warmth and layered design” and that more shops would be opening in 2026.
“I believe these steps are necessary to build a better, stronger and more resilient Starbucks,” Niccol said.
