Starbucks will close a total of 14 Long Island stores as part of a plan to shutter 600 of its outlets across the country by the middle of next year, the company said in releasing a full list of closings late ...

The one by Vets Hwy in Islandia is closing because a new 7-11 opened nearby; people want better coffee at a cheaper price

Dunkin Donuts should take some of the stores over and increase their market share. Especially in the South.

OH NO !
Not Cedarhurst!!!!!
Coffee Madness; it will rival Reefer Madness

Let them all close....but beware of the no-coffee headache!
Try DD or, here's an idea. Use a Starbucks cup - make the coffee yourself.

Good idea. DD Donuts are light years better than krispy kremes. Plus their coffee is the beast. Starbucks always tastes like they burnt the beans. The advertising hooks the teens that are looking to be hip.

The one in Mineola is just in a terrible spot--parking is impossible and the construction on the train tracks couldn't have helped.

Ask any cop in Mid Town. We love Dunkin. Plus its quicker. You don't have to wait an hour for a cup.

Yipee! Close them all. Now maybe coffee will go back down to the normal prices it should be. It's amazing how you can take such a simple item, make it trendy, then charge 500% more.
It's just coffee people. Get real.

And yet, they're building a new one on Stewart Avenue.

No surprise that the one on CR39 in Southampton is closing.
It is nothing more than an expensive billboard.
Impossible to access. You're past it before you can stop to try to enter it.

huh, looks like America woke up and smelled the over-priced coffee! Either that or they had to choose between buying gas and a cup of joe...

I got me a Tassimo coffee maker and make my own cappucino and its BETTER and CHEAPER than Starbucks!

And in West Babylon also. Something the poster - BOO HOO - may be interested in.

starbucks has lost its luster

[Spider]

Wonder what the employees in the stores to be closed are adding to the coffee?

[Dunkin - Donuts]

I say.. good, just like so many chain stores... I don't need one in every corner.. And I agree with many of you that say its way over priced, its just coffee, but I guess maybe for those that drink it, its a status symbol, like the big SUVS! LOL.. back to Dunkin!!!!

[Frugal in Flushing]

Good Riddance! Their over-priced swill will not be missed!

Drink tea, it's better for you and you can't screw up hot water and a tea bag.
