"In the letter - titled "Message from Brian: An Important Update" - Niccol said a review of the company's North American coffee shop portfolio identified stores that were "unable to create the physical environment our customers and partners expect, or where we don't see a path to financial performance." As it closes those shops, Starbucks expects its company-operated North American store count to decline about 1% in fiscal year 2025."
