Now, it appears as if at least 13 of the most recent closures are set to impact Starbucks locations in the Bay Area.
These are the Bay Area Starbucks locations that look set to close, according to the Starbucks online store locator.

In a letter to employees, Starbucks Chief Operating Officer Mike Grams said the locations targeted for closure either aren't delivering acceptable financial results or can't provide the kind of experience Starbucks wants for customers or employees.
