Starbucks will close Route 611 store
SEATTLE – Starbucks will close its new store at the Shoppes at Stroud on Route 611. The store is on a list of about 600 stores that will be closed as part of a cost reduction plan announced earlier this month.
A nearby Starbucks, in downtown Stroudsburg, apparently will remain open.
Altogether, the designer coffee giant plans to close 21 Pennsylvania stores.
