Starbucks is cutting 104 employees in its Store Development and Design department as it wraps up its Back to Starbucks restructuring. Another 120 employees who choose not to relocate from Seattle to a new corporate office in Nashville will also be let go. The moves complete a plan to trim $2 billion in costs over two years, bringing total corporate job eliminations since early 2025 to as many as 2,500. CEO Brian Niccol said savings are being funneled into increased hours for in-store baristas, technical upgrades, and store redesigns aimed at making locations more welcoming. The company reported its fourth consecutive quarter of positive global comparable store sales and second consecutive quarter of consolidated margin growth.
