• Starbucks To Close 250 Stores This Week: What NJ Customers Need To Know (patch.com) — Starbucks is preparing to close about 250 North American stores this week, and while the company hasn't said which New Jersey locations are on the list, Fort Lee customers could feel the impact. Earlier this year, a Fort Lee Starbucks was among several New Jersey stores shut down, and the chain hasn't ruled out further changes to those locations in this new round of closures.
