Starbucks to close four New Mexico stores

Starbucks has identified all 600 company-owned stores it plans to close in a bid to boost its business and weed out unprofitable locations.

[A Chris Hannemann]

Can I ask which Albuquerque store is slated for closure?

Nice work, KOB....woulda been nifty to ID the ABQ store that's closing, ya think???

Who are the copy editors there at KOB???

My friends, only losers and wannabes visit Starbucks, when the first started out it was worth the extra money, but they have cut back service and quality so much, even the lowly Dunkin Donuts has better coffee.

yes!!!!!! I hate starbucks.

Shirley, Maybe Starbucks has not announced which 4.

[Cherie]

Crap, now I won't be able to pay for my over priced coffee any more! I don't know what I'm gonna drink now! Guess I'll have to go back to drinkin the home brew...

Ditto! I've never liked Starbucks.

I've never been able to understand how or why anyone would think that a cup of burnt and bitter tasting coffee is such a great thing? It must the steep price tag attached to it...

Maybe they'll close than four stores in New Mexico.

As per the news last night, the Abq store that'll close is at Menaul & Wyoming NE.

[CornDog]

As per Ch13's website and news last night:

* Wyoming and Menaul, Albuquerque
* Highway 550 and Highway 64, Bloomfield
* North Main and Temple, Las Cruces
* North Main near Wal-Mart, Roswell

The stores will close by the end of March, but the company hasn't yet announced a more specific time.

Obama says Starbucks has the best coffee in the country, of course he has never been there before..but he plans on visiting one next week.

Bloomfield's Starbucks wasn't even open 2 years and they built it new too. I guess the oilfield guys couldn't or wouldn't put their money there.

3 in Farmington, 1 in Aztec and 1 in Bloomfield.

Funny thing is that people won't complain about their obscene profits. Roughly an 80% markup on their product!

Ok Wiccad, I know of the one in Aztec & Bloomfield, but 3 in Farmington? Safeway, the one by the mall, and where is the other one????

I have to admit, I go there about once a month for a frap, but now, Sonic has them and they are much better than theirs!!

[Wiccad]

Cheeky, the other one is in Target.
