The Valley has dodged the Starbucks bullet, at least so far.
According to a list, released Friday, detailing the locations of 600 stores the coffee purveyor is set to close, just one Arizona store will close; the Eloy location at 4985 N. Sunland Gin Road.
In comparison, 88 California stores are set to close and 19 in Washington state .
Exact dates for store closings haven't been set, but closures will begin this month and continue through next year, according to the company.
And although it released a detailed list Friday, the Seattle-based company said that list could change depending on market factors or other events.
Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) said it be closing the stores as a way to improve performance across its retail network.
