Several Lubbock area locations of Starbucks will close at 2:30 pm Tuesday for racial bias training.  According to the Starbucks website, they include:

  • 80th Street and University Avenue
  • 82nd Street and Quaker Avenue 
  • University Avenue and Mac Davis Lane
  • 4th Street and Slide Road
  • 98th Street and Slide Road 
  • Marsha Sharp Freeway and Milwaukee Avenue

However, locations that are nested within other stores will not close at 2:30.  For example, those would be Starbucks locations inside United Supermarkets, Target and the airport. 

The company announced bias training for its employees after the arrest of two black men inside a Philadelphia Starbucks location in April. 

Video of the incident showed the arrest of Donte Robinson and Rashon Nelson after a store manager called 911.
