Last Starbucks Outlet in Kelantan Officially Closes its Doors, Employees Resign & Refused to be Transferred

In Kelantan, Starbucks recently ceased the operation in its one last outlet.

The Starbucks in KB Mall, Kota Bharu, officially closed its doors yesterday (November 30). Due to the ongoing boycott movement, the number of closed Starbucks branches in Malaysia increased from 25 to 50 outlets, reported Sin Chew.

According to the report, the outlet in KB Mall stopped selling coffee three days before its closure. The coffee beans were grounded, and the baristas could only sell non-coffee beverages to the patrons before the closure.

An emotional goodbye

Many employees, especially those who had been stationed at the outlet for a long time, got emotional, and some decided to resign because they didn’t want to be transferred to other outlets.

The employees resigned for different reasons, but most couldn’t accept being transferred to other states.

The other 2 closed outlets were located near the commercial district. On its closure day, some customers came and sat down for some beverages to show their support one last time before Starbucks in KB Mall closed its doors forever.
