This change will affect 80 to 90 locations across the US, with some potentially being converted into seated stores.
The move is part of a broader operational overhaul led by CEO Brian Niccol, who aims to foster more customer-friendly environments and improve service.

These strategic adjustments follow six consecutive quarters of sales decline for Starbucks, despite the CEO expressing optimism about the company's recovery.
