The Starbucks at West Linn Central Village is closing, the second tenant departure from the Willamette Drive shopping center in recent months.

The coffeehouse at 22000 Willamette Drive is one of 250 North American Starbucks locations shutting down as part of a corporate restructuring, the West Linn Tidings reported Monday, Sept. 28, crediting KGW as first to break the news.

Central Village also recently lost Crumbl Cookies, though no details on that closure's timing have been made public.

Starbucks Chief Operating Officer Mike Grams announced the cuts in a Sept. 24 letter to employees posted on the company's website. The 250 stores represent about 1% of the chain's more than 18,000 North American locations. Grams said the company reviewed its portfolio and targeted stores where it could not deliver the customer experience it wanted or find a path to acceptable financial performance.

Five Oregon stores are on the closure list, OregonLive reported. Three are in the Portland metro area: the West Linn location, a store at 14585 S.E. McLoughlin Blvd. in Milwaukie and one at 2880 S.E. Powell Blvd. in Portland. The remaining two are in Eugene and The Dalles.

The closures mark the second major wave under CEO Brian Niccol, who joined Starbucks in 2024. Last year the company shut down nearly 500 U.S. coffeehouses, including 15 in Oregon, and laid off about 900 non-retail employees, according to OregonLive.

Starbucks said it will offer transfer opportunities to affected workers where possible and provide severance for those it cannot place at another location. No information on how many employees worked at the West Linn store was available.

Central Village is a 104,715-square-foot, grocery-anchored center developed by Gramor Development and opened in 2007. Market of Choice anchors the property, which sits along Highway 43 next to the West Linn City Library. The current Gramor tenant directory no longer lists Starbucks.

Starbucks did not publicly release a full list of closing locations. Media outlets and users on Reddit compiled lists using the company's online store locator. Starbucks Workers United, the union representing employees at nearly 700 U.S. stores, said 20 of the 250 closing locations were unionized, according to OregonLive. The union and the company have yet to reach a labor agreement.

Gramor Development did not comment. No replacement tenant for the Starbucks space has been announced.
