Starbucks is shuttering several locations, including a beloved spot under Boston's iconic steaming kettle in Government Center. This is part of a nationwide restructuring, with hundreds of stores closing and nine hundred non-retail employees being laid off. The Wellesley Central Street location is also on the chopping block. While the company hasn't specified the exact number of closures, they anticipate ending the fiscal year with eighteen thousand three hundred North American locations, down from eighteen thousand seven hundred and thirty-four. Store closures begin immediately, and workers are being offered transfers or severance packages. Starbucks is allocating one billion dollars for this restructuring, including one hundred and fifty million dollars for employee separation and eight hundred and fifty million dollars for store closures and lease exits. - Did you know? The first Starbucks opened in Seattle in 1971 and was originally named "Starbucks Coffee, Tea, and Spices". Reported by WCVB. www.wcvb.com/article/starbucks-boston-massachusett…
