Trenton, N.J. - As Mayor of Trenton, it is with mixed emotions that I acknowledge the closing of the Capital City’s only Starbucks Community Store located on South Warren Street. While saddened by this closure, I want to express my gratitude to Starbucks Corporate for their collaboration with the city throughout this process.
From the outset, our priority has been to ensure that the dedicated Trenton workers impacted by this closure are supported in finding suitable opportunities. I am pleased to report that Starbucks has been proactive in offering these employees positions at other locations within their network, demonstrating a commitment to the well-being of our community.
While the closure of the South Warren Street store is indeed a loss, I remain optimistic about the future. The City of Trenton and Starbucks have maintained an open dialogue, exploring potential avenues for future collaboration and investment in our community. Together, we are committed to fostering growth and opportunities for our residents.
I urge our residents to continue supporting local businesses, as they are the lifeblood of our community. As we navigate this transition, let us remain resilient and united in our efforts to build a stronger, more vibrant Trenton downtown for generations to come.
