The city will lose barely a drop when Starbucks closes some 600 stores nationwide.
The coffee giant announced that it was closing the stores over the next few months – but the only blow to Gotham is one coffeehouse on Staten Island.
The quiet store is located in a Graniteville strip mall.
A employee there said the store “just [was] not making enough money.” She said staffers would be relocated to other area Starbucks.
The store, at 1756 Forest Ave., which opened in 2006, will be shuttered July 27.
Two other metro-area stores, in Central Islip and Southold on Long Island, will also shut down.
Starbucks said earlier this month that it will close the under-performing stores across the United States by the middle of fiscal 2009. The move will affect roughly 12,000 workers.
There are just over 7,250 Starbucks in the United States. The 600 stores to be closed represent about 8 percent of that number.
