One of Gananoque’s favourite places to grab a coffee at anytime of the day will be closing its doors this weekend. In a post on social media, Starbucks, located at 787 King Street East, they issued the following statement:
To our amazing customers,
We’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to close this Starbucks location. We know this may be hard to hear-because this isn’t just any store. It’s your coffeehouse, a place woven into your daily rhythm, where memories were made, and where meaningful connections with our partners grew over the years. We’re deeply grateful for the community that’s been built here.
We know many of you will be thinking of your favourite partner, and we’re working closely to support our partners through this transition.
Our commitment to creating welcoming, memorable experiences remains unchanged. We hope you’ll visit us at a nearby Starbucks where we’d be honoured to continue sharing moments with you.
Thank you for being part of our story. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The Starbucks Coffee Company
Management and staff welcome everyone by on Saturday September 27th for a final coffee, before the doors officially close at 3pm. Starbucks had announced Thursday that stores across North America would be notified Friday morning about closures and those affected would receive “generous severance and support packages including benefits extensions”.
