Default Starbucks Closing?

The other day I was watching TV at work and the news came on and said "Tune in today at 5 to find out why starbucks is closing"

I couldn't watch it at 5, and I cannot find anything else on it.

Did anyone else hear anything about this or just local publicity?

Probably one locally in your area that has failed health inspections.

That's what I thought, and not only that they are individually owned, so how could they all be closing.

Sounds like a marketing ploy to get customers back in the doors.
