Starbucks is closing underperforming stores nationwide, impacting several locations in Massachusetts, including the well-known "Golden Teapot" store in Boston. CEO Brian Niccol stated the decision stems from various factors, including financial performance. The company plans to assist affected employees through transfers to other stores or severance packages. An official list of closures hasn't been released, but signs and updated operating hours indicate that some stores will cease operations by the end of the week.
