Starbucks did all kinds of saturation studies ...by simply opening stores. One place in Seattle you could see 5 stores.
I notice that only 7 Stores are being closed in Seattle. I'm guessing that most of the stores closing simply have not been worthwhile.

That might be wrong. There's an update that says Starbucks actually closed 616 stores nationwide. The additional 16 stores they killed are in Seattle.
