13 Starbucks Stores Permanently Closed in Toronto — Full Address List & Impact

Oct 7, 2025

Starbucks has begun a sweeping North American portfolio reset under its “Back to Starbucks” plan — closing hundreds of underperforming coffeehouses and eliminating ~900 corporate roles. The company says it will end FY2025 with nearly 18,300 locations across the U.S. and Canada (about a 1% net decline), and aims to resume growth in FY2026 after refurbishing 1,000+ stores.About Starbucks

In Toronto, 13 stores permanently closed by Sept. 27, with many partners reporting they received notice on Sept. 25 — just two days’ lead time. Workers told Now Toronto they were “in complete shock,” citing sudden job loss and scarce transfer options.NOW Toronto

Why this wave feels different

  • Scale & speed: closures numbered in the hundreds within days; the company frames this as a one-time reset to improve experience and unit economics before returning to growth.

  • Downtown & PATH dynamics: uneven commuter recovery and hybrid work have pressured pickup-only and core-financial-district formats.6ix Retail

  • Industry context: other chains have also trimmed footprints amid cost inflation and shifting demand.The Sun

What to watch next

  • Customer impact: longer lines at surviving high-traffic sites; fewer “third places” in key corridors.

  • Workers: limited transfers, focus on severance, and rapid re-employment; independents/specialty cafés may see spillover traffic.
