No.
As of December 29, 2025, there is no proof that the Starbucks in Clifton Park is among the locations targeted for permanent closure in the company’s ongoing restructuring plan.
The Clifton Park location at 309 Clifton Park Center Road remains open and operational, along with licensed Starbucks cafes inside local Target and Price Chopper/Market 32 stores.
The Clifton Park Starbucks is a unionized store (since 2022) and has participated in nationwide unfair labor practice strikes organized by Starbucks Workers United.
- In November 2025, baristas at the Clifton Park location joined strikes starting around Red Cup Day (November 13) and continuing through Black Friday and beyond.
- These actions have led to multiple early closings and picketing, with workers demanding fair contracts, better wages, improved staffing, and resolution of hundreds of unresolved unfair labor practices.
- Strikes affected the Clifton Park store directly, causing shortened hours or temporary shutdowns on strike days, but these are not permanent closures.
Starbucks restructuring plan
Starbucks recently announced plans to close approximately 400 stores nationwide, primarily in large metropolitan areas like New York City, Los Angeles, and other high-density urban markets. The company has already shuttered dozens of underperforming shops, including 42 in New York City alone, citing factors such as increased competition, remote work trends, and rising operational costs.
However, Starbucks has not released an official list of the affected stores, and no reports confirm any closures in the Capital Region, including Clifton Park.
The broader strikes have impacted hundreds of unionized Starbucks locations across the country, but they are separate from the company’s store closure announcements.
