| recession finally hits BC
BC has officlly hit recesion
A starbucks is closing!!! 
Starbucks announces first-ever Canadian closing in Richmond, B.C.
Last Updated: Monday, March 30, 2009 | 6:54 PM PT
Starbucks Corp. will shut down its Aberdeen Centre location in Richmond, B.C., on Wednesday, the company's first-ever closing in Canada.
The coffee retailer said the decision to close was caused by current economic conditions and because the location itself was under-performing.
Some employees at the Richmond location said they were given just five days' notice about the pending shutdown.
Starbucks has announced it plans on closing 100 coffee shops outside of the U.S., but it has so far not revealed how many more outlets in B.C. will be shuttered.
Starbucks has 365 locations in the province.

maybe the C-lai's don't like coffee. They prefer tea.

This is no real surprise after seeing Starbuck's current financial reports. Expect more closures to follow.
