From the Chicago Tribune:
On Tuesday, Starbucks plans to close almost all of its 7,100 stores between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. for an unprecedented education and training session for its employees. The event, according to Transformation Agenda Communication #6, "signals the company’s focus on transforming the Starbucks experience" for both its customers and workers.
Coincidentally, Dunkin’ Donuts has planned a special promotion offering free small lattes, cappuccinos or espressos at all 450 Chicago-market locations from 1 to 10 p.m. to overlap with the event.
