I stopped by one of Starbucks’ mobile-focused pickup-only locations in Seattle this week after the company announced that it was sunsetting the small-format stores.

The coffee giant is walking away from a format it once bet big on: the mobile-order-only store, dubbed “Starbucks Pick Up.” Around 80 to 90 of these stripped-down locations — places with no seats, no counter, and barely a presence — are being shut down through 2026.

Several Starbucks Pick Up locations across the Houston-area will be closed or converted to full stores as the chain eliminates the small stores in 2026. Starbucks Pick Up stores were designed for grab-and-go mobile and online orders. The locations were typically smaller and did not have customer bathrooms or seating.
