Companies have used "crime" as a scapegoat to cover for closing store for other reasons before...
Keep in mind — this is KOMO News, who regularly pushes the “crime” narrative as a political policy, independent of whether it’s accurate or not.
Sinclair owned Komo news to boot.
Much crime
Very scare
Wow
Can't they just go to the one directly across the street? Or even the one diagonally across the intersection if they feel like walking a little further?
You forgot about the one inside the building 1/3 of a block back. And the kiosk in the hotel lobby near by. WHY are there never enough Starbucks around? WHY??? so thirsty...
it's a franchise. When too many open in one spot it's because starbucks granted the licences. The actual shops are operated by the shop owners, paying to use the starbucks brand.
Starbucks itself doesn't care that many of its shops are in direct competition of "their own" shops. That's the franchisee's problem, not theirs. They get paid by all shops regardless.
I remember once I was at a Starbucks downtown and asked where the restroom was. I passed another Starbucks on the way to the restroom.
Is it because nObOdy WaNts tO wORk aNyMorE?
