Starbucks announced via an internal memo sent to staff on Sept. 24 that it would be closing 250 stores by the end of the week, or approximately 1% of its total stores in the U.S.
Employees at closing locations will be offered either the chance to transfer stores or will be provided with severance support, according to an internal memo sent to employees by Chief Operating Officer Mike Grams.
A post on r/Starbucks listed five Arizona stores that were set to close this week. The Republic confirmed the closure with employees at each store.

- 885 N. 54th St., Chandler
- 3550 E. Southern Ave., Suite 104, Mesa
- 9100 E. Apache Trail, Mesa
