    Seattle's Iconic Starbucks Reserve Closes Amidst Union Discussions, Sparks Local Business Support Call

    SEATTLE, WA – The Starbucks Reserve location in Seattle's Capitol Hill, one of only six such establishments globally, has permanently closed its doors. The closure, which reportedly occurred overnight, has raised questions among local residents and employees. According to content creator Corteezyy, who reported from the site of the now-shuttered store, the closure was not unexpected by staff. "There's a lot of workers here who said that they stopped having talks with them about the union contracts... weeks ago," Corteezyy stated, suggesting a potential link between labor relations and the sudden shutdown. This closure is part of a larger trend, with reports indicating 900 Starbucks locations nationwide are affected. While acknowledging varying opinions on Starbucks' pricing, Corteezyy emphasized the significant impact on employees losing their jobs. In response, the creator urged community members and visitors to support local Capitol Hill coffee shops. Recommended establishments include Victrola, Phe Bonito, Real Fine, Odd Fellows Cafe, Ghost Note, and the newly added Sugar Bakery, aiming to bolster independent businesses in the wake of the corporate giant's departure. The community awaits further official statements from Starbucks regarding the reasons behind this significant closure and its broader implications for employees and the local economy.
