Starbucks Corp. said Tuesday that it has drastically increased the number of stores it plans to close and could eliminate as many as 12,000 full- and part-time positions as a result.

The company said it now plans to close 600 company-operated stores in the United States, up from its previous plans to close 100 stores.

I was in Vancouver about 18 months ago and there was a Starbucks on one corner and another one kitty-corner (or “catty-corner”, depending on where you’re from) to that one. Unbelievable.
