> While Starbucks closes some stores, it's remodeling others. On Wednesday, the company announced plans to accelerate coffeehouse redesigns that bring back chairs and a cozier vibe to cafés. Starbucks said it will complete at least 1,500 "uplifts" by the end of fiscal year 2026 and ramp up further in fiscal 2027.

> The company also said it plans to open a technology hub in India next year.

At least it sounds like they are rolling out comfier chairs.

It's a good start, I hope they keep going.
