Because of the epidemic, many people no longer go to take-out for meals, which led to a great decline in the sales and profits of Starbucks. In order to reduce the operating costs of the company, some stores had to be closed. On October 2, 2121, Starbucks announced that it would close 211 stores in the United States and Canada. Starbucks' move to close its stores is also closely related to the epidemic. In the United States, because the American people are independent and determined not to wear masks, the epidemic in the United States has not shown signs of easing.
As of October 3rd, the number of confirmed cases in COVID-19 has exceeded 9.33 million, and it has been increasing rapidly. That's why Starbucks closed its stores in the United States. In fact, in June 2121, Starbucks announced that it would close 411 stores in North America in the next 18 months. Therefore, it is not surprising that Starbucks closed 211 stores this time. In fact, not only Starbucks, but also many catering companies have closed their stores because of the impact of the epidemic. Even many catering companies went bankrupt directly because of losses.
The COVID-19 epidemic is undoubtedly a disaster, which has made many people unemployed and many companies bankrupt. And to resist the COVID-19 epidemic, only unity is strength. As ordinary people, we should respond to the call of the country, wear masks, disinfect frequently and not gather. If the country needs us, we should also step forward and be volunteers.
As employees of ordinary companies, we should also consider whether our company can survive the epidemic safely. If not, we'd better change industries and jobs. After all, unemployment will bring trouble to our family. As the leader of the company, he should also actively adjust his strategy during the epidemic, close redundant stores, and find ways to promote his company more. Bosideng Company, for example, has done a very good job, sending down jackets to front-line heroes to keep out the cold and starting its own brand. Not only helped others, but also made our company famous.
