Starbucks announced cuts to 300 corporate jobs in the United States as part of efforts to achieve sustainable growth.

The company announced the move early Friday, May 15, 2026. The cuts target employees at regional support offices in Atlanta, Burbank, Chicago, and Dallas.

Starbucks will pay severance of 120 million US dollars and reduce property book value by 280 million US dollars. The move will not affect coffee shop operations.

The company is also reviewing its international support organization and expects additional job cuts outside the US. This continues prior cuts of 1,100 corporate employees announced in February last year.
