Just six months after staff unionized at a Vancouver Starbucks outlet—one of four unionized Starbucks locations in British Columbia—the corporate head office says the store will be closing.

The store, located on Dunbar Street, will close its doors by the end of September, according to Leanna Rizzi, a spokesperson for the company. She told The Epoch Times on Sept. 5 that the closure is due to a “natural lease expiry” at the location.
