Most staffers that were in those offices will now work remotely.The chain will incur US$400 million in restructuring charges, including US$280 million of non-cash charges related to a review of its Reserve and Roastery store locations and changes to its corporate offices. The other US$120 million will be cash charges mostly linked to employee separation benefits.Starbucks is moving some corporate staff to Nashville as part of efforts to keep a lid on costs. The city is appealing due to Tennessee’s lower taxes and salaries. The state offers proximity to some suppliers and to parts of the country where it wants to build more stores, the company has said. The Nashville office, in which Starbucks is investing US$100 million, will eventually house 2,000 workers.
