Which Starbucks Pick Up stores will close?
The change will affect approximately 90 locations across more than 20 states in the U.S. that only offer pick-up service. Some of these stores will be permanently closed, while others will be converted into traditional cafés.
“We’re not moving away from mobile ordering—it remains a critical part of our business, accounting for 31% of transactions. We’re fully committed to enabling customers to seamlessly grab and go or enjoy the experience of our warm and welcoming coffeehouses,” said a spokesperson.
“What we are doing is sunsetting the concept of mobile order and pickup-only locations. We’ve found this format to be overly transactional and lacking the warmth and human connection that defines our brand. We have a strong digital offering and believe we can deliver the same level of convenience through our community coffeehouses with a superior Mobile Order & Pay experience.”

Why are Starbucks Pick Up stores closing?
According to Brian Niccol, this store format no longer aligns with the company’s strategy, as it is too transactional and lacks the warmth and human connection that define the brand.
What is Starbucks Pick Up?
Starbucks Pick Up is a store format designed for quick, line-free orders. It’s intended for customers who order and pay in advance through the Starbucks app. Instead of waiting at a traditional café, users simply arrive, pick up their ready-made drink, and go on with their day.
