Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol announced the company will be shuttering "Pick Up" locations across the country. Here's what to know in Tennessee.

Starbucks has always said that its goal is to be your “third place.” The idea is that it’s the other place you go between home and work. It’s where you go to hang out with your friends, get some work done, study for an exam, or just read a book. Of course, being a third place means being a place where people want to hang out.

Just a few weeks ago, Starbucks announced a significant overhaul is coming to over 1,000 of its stores by the end of the year as the beloved coffee chain looks to fulfill its promise as the "third place" after home and office.

The coffee giant is walking away from a format it once bet big on: the mobile-order-only store, dubbed “Starbucks Pick Up.” Around 80 to 90 of these stripped-down locations — places with no seats, no counter, and barely a presence — are being shut down through 2026.

Coffee giant Starbucks may be closing one of its Connecticut locations next year as part of plan by the Seattle-based company to phase out locations around the country that were open for pick-up orders only.
