Starbucks is out of business for the afternoon.
In response to several
Starbucks employees being accused of racial profiling customers, the coffee chain decided to
close its
8,000 company-owned
stores for several hours on May 29 to administer
racial-bias training.

How can Starbucks ensure its racial-bias training actually helps a divided America?
For several hours this afternoon, we will close stores and offices to discuss how to make Starbucks a place where all people feel welcome.
Thank you for your patience and support as we renew our promise to make Starbucks an inclusive gathering place for all.
See you tomorrow.
