Starbucks will close all pick-up-only stores. See location.

Starbucks plans to discontinue its pick-up-only store model in 2026, CEO Brian Nicole announced this week’s revenue call.

Nicole, who has been at the helm since September 2024, said the venture is no longer compatible with the Seattle-based coffee chain’s plan to “return to Starbucks.”

“We found this format to be overly transactional and lack the warmth and human connection that defines our brand,” Nicole said on July 29th.

Introduced in New York in 2019, the Starbucks Pickup is designed to simplify coffee runs. Customers place mobile orders, pick them up and move on that day.

According to the Niccol and The Chain websites, “Pickup” stores have been affected in around 80-90 Starbucks in more than 20 states, with some locations facing permanent closures.

Starbucks did not respond to comments on the future of certain locations built in downtown cities, airport terminals or hospitals across the country.

Despite the changes in strategy, the company has not separated from mobile orders as it accounts for 31% of transactions, Starbucks said in a statement to USA Today.

“We have a strong digital product and we believe we can provide the same level of convenience through our community coffee houses.
