May 30, 2018
Coffee shop chain Starbucks is closing all its company-owned stores in the United States for about 4 hours Tuesday afternoon, along with its corporate offices around the country, to provide racial-bias training to its employees. The decision, included in the company’s first quarter results announcement April 26, was made as part of Starbucks chairman Howard Schultz’s efforts to change the public image of the company.
