Starbucks to lay off 300 U.S. employees, shutter some regional support offices
The company said the cuts are part of a turnaround plan to lower costs and simplify operations, with $400 million in restructuring charges expected.
- On Friday, Starbucks announced it will cut 300 U.S. corporate jobs and shutter regional support offices as part of its ongoing turnaround strategy to streamline operations.
- CEO Brian Niccol has aggressively remade the company since September 2024, with this move marking the third round of corporate layoffs following major cuts in February and September 2025.
- Restructuring charges will total $400 million, comprising $120 million in cash severance costs and $280 million in noncash charges related to leased office space impairment.
- Despite the cuts, U.S. same-store sales grew 7.1% last quarter, and the company's stock rose more than 26% year to date before the latest announcement.
- Consolidating office operations and opening a new Nashville satellite office, the company mirrors a broader pullback across corporate America where retailers are trimming white-collar staff.
