This is unofficial, but the Seattle Times has a map showing the rumored closings. seattletimes.nwsource.com/flatpages/businesstechnology/
locationsofstarbucksstoresclosingacrossthenation.html

It shows the Sheridan Road location as closing as well as the Altus location. These make sense, as Starbucks has said closures would be of stores opened 2006 and after. If it's not true, Starbucks is getting what they deserve. By saying 600 stores are closing, but not saying which 600, they are leaving everyone to guess, so such conjecture is very predictable. It is as though they wanted people to think their store was closing.

 

UPDATE

 

It's official, Altus is closing as is Sheridan Road.

15 closures overall in Oklahoma. 8 closed in Nebraska. Starbucks is abandoning middle America and small-town America.

Re: Update on Starbucks closings

Its a shame that they did not keep most of these stores open long enough to even give them a chance. But that is the way business works. The newer stores are a bigger write off for the corporation. They did not choose ther perfect location for Lawton anyway and at least we will still have 1. But Altus will be hurt the most.

Re: Update on Starbucks closings

I hate to be a Monday morning quarterback, but I always thought the Sheridan Road location was not well though out. Really glad we are keeping the Cache Rd. store.

Hello, out there!  I'm Bonnie Barker.  You are all probably acquainted with my nephew, Sheridan, otherwise known as the "smartest prairie dog in town".  

Being somewhat envious of Sheridan's success, I decided that I should host a blog of my own.  I am interested in all the news that's fit to print and some that isn't. If you don't have anything nice to say, please come down to the prairie dog mounds and let's dish!
