“Dear PoPville,
Just read that the Starbucks at Union Station is closing. Starbucks said safety was the reason for the locations that came out… Hard to believe it is a safety issue there… There must be more to it!”
From the Wall Street Journal:
“Starbucks Closing Some Stores, Citing Safety Concerns in Certain Cafes”
Business Insider lists the 16 stores including:
“Union Station Train Concourse, Washington, DC”
“After careful consideration, we are closing some stores in locations that have experienced a high volume of challenging incidents that make it unsafe to continue to operate, to open new locations with safer conditions,” a Starbucks spokesperson told Insider. The incidents involve drug use in stores by customers and other members of the public reported by workers.”
