The Starbucks Closure List: If You’re Latino, Your Store Is Probably On It
18 July 2008, 3:30 PM. By Guanabee Staff
Where will we blog when we go home for Christmas? The one Starbucks in Brownsville, Texas is a dead store walking! After announcing it will close 600 stores between now and FY09, the previously unstoppable Starbucks empire has published its list of locations touched by the grim reaper. Topping the list with the most stores is California with 88 (Hopefully Prima J will turn all that around!), Florida with 59 and Texas with 57. Our conclusion? Latinos don’t like Starbucks. The entire downloadable list is after the jump.

If Latinos don’t like Starbucks, it’s because they don’t like their coffee burnt, pretentious and overpriced.
Any place where you have to learn another language to order a coffee (tall, half-grande, wtf…) is a place that needs to go out of business.
my sister once went into a starbucks and ordered “chocolate milk… but warm”
that was her first and last time at a starbucks!
This is a good move by Starbucks I think. It’s amazing how many stores they have. I wrote about this today too.

I think everyone must have heard this announcement this morning because I stopped by on my way to work (which I never do) and that shit was PACKED! Damn sheep. baaaaaa
I’m serious. If anyone knows where I can blog in Brownsville, let me know. I’m not blogging at the pinche McDonald’s.
Latinos are smarter than to pay $4 for coffee! Good riddance 4BUCKS!
Well .. I kind of enjoyed my StarBucks.. Used to go there every Sunday with my friends .. Oh well …. farewell Starbucks coffee
We have a starbucks that opened up in our college campus just last semester. I spent 7 bucks to buy one of their ceramic mugs to keep in my office, because Starbucks only charges 50 cents for refills (as opposed to 2+ bucks for normal coffee).
Of course, they got wise to my thriftiness, and the (white) manager is talking about getting rid of the refills.
NOW what am i supposed to do? Make coffee myself at home and bring it with me to work?
I am sure that starbucks is safe, because their customer base consist of college students who are spending their financial aid/grants/mom and dads money every day.
You’d think they close some in Arizona. Only one on the list!
Is that **THE** Crafty Chica? I heart her!!! :)
Anyhoo… While I was in Corpus Christi this weekend, I heard they were closing 2 of their Starbucks stores and nobody seemed to care. However, when I got home (Dallas) there were actually some crazy fools protesting the closing of a neighborhood Starbucks.

There is no way I would protest the closing of a store unless it was H-E-B. I see it like this… White people will fight for Starbucks. Latinos will fight for H-E-B and fight you for that parking spot up front next to the cart return.
Latinos smart, yes. Mexicans?, no. Starbucks planning on opening around 300 starbucks in Mexico. I will miss jacking newspaper every day from starbucks!
