Seattle's Iconic Starbucks Reserve Roastery Among Stores Closing

Starbucks is closing its iconic Seattle Reserve Roastery, the first of its kind, citing inability to maintain expected customer experience and financial performance. The closure, announced Thursday, affects employees who will receive support during the transition. The roastery, a popular destination and early unionized Starbucks location, was recently the site of worker protests for a completed labor contract. Starbucks insists the unionization was not a factor in the closure, maintaining its commitment to other Reserve Roasteries globally. The company is working to relocate affected employees to other stores.
