Did Starbucks really focus on reducing their store branches nowadays?

I went to Setia City Mall just now and quite surprised that Starbucks branch for this mall permanently closed down.

SCM considered high traffic and full with people.

Same goes to Nando's in this mall. Closed down permanently.Attached Image

Setia City mall I think almost 60% of their patrons are type M. So it's normal.

Market correction la- now the remaining starbucks are to cater to nons- work by malay kids .

Is not a bad thing, they will stabilised actual followers and this will become a non hanging spot.

Ok ma. No need see their face and we can enjoy starbucks quietly.

My ex colleagues told me Starbucks has an agreement with US which states they need to open 20-30 stores in a year.. This was before MCO, not sure about now

Yep. I guess that's one of the factor that some shops in here are closing down.

Suddenly increased so much rental, businesses also disagree to continue

If you read the fine print, it seems they are just relocating, not closing permanently

starbuck has its niche.

Being able to sit there for hours with aircon and free electricity for your laptop isn't something that can be replicated easily by other competitors.

The Starbucks at SCM is at old wing, all the stores in old wing have to refresh. Nando's and Starbucks have been there from the opening of mall super old. They probably want to consolidate and move all the food to the new wing area. The mall now is quite busy even weekdays after Aeon opened takeover from Lulu. Jamaica Blue also boarded up.

Starbucks have problems even in countries without boycott. The thing is that serving expensive coffee in a somewhat nice environment is not that hard. Very vulnerable to local competition.

Fact is Fast Foods and Starbuck are not good for health , during young time drink and eat too much of these type of food ...when latter in 40s or 50s suffer health problems ... so Boycott does have its benefits in long term ...

They can chose to explicitly state they condemn genocide in palestine and fully support hamas but decided not to.

Zus managed the issue with boycott swiftly.

Too many same shops in an area also no good also. Concentrate at those which is easily accessible, and has frequent people coming.
