Starbucks says it will lay off about 300 corporate employees in the United States and close four regional offices as part of an ongoing turnaround. Multiple outlets report that the job cuts target corporate roles in functions such as marketing, human resources, and supply chain management. The company frames the changes as part of a broader effort to reduce complexity and costs while supporting store performance. The New York Times and PBS NewsHour report that Starbucks will close four regional offices. The New York Times also reports a restructuring charge of $400 million connected to the changes. Several sources emphasize that the layoffs are corporate-focused and do not include coffeehouse employees. Inquirer.net adds that, for now, international employees are not affected, while Starbucks reviews its global support structure. The Oregonian notes that Starbucks has already cut more than 2,300 Washington-based jobs across corporate and retail functions since February 2025, as part of multiple rounds of layoffs. Other outlets describe ongoing corporate workforce reductions and office closures as the company continues to revamp how it supports its stores.
