Ever since Starbucks announced last week the 600 locations they are closing, several cities have embarked on a mission to save their local Starbucks store. From small towns like Bloomfield, N.M. to big cities like New York, customers and city officials are writing letters, making calls and circulating petitions, reports The Wall Street Journal. Several "Save Our Starbucks" petitions online have even cropped up for stores in San Diego, Dallas and New York City, pleading with the company to change its mind. (Via Starbucks Gossip)

Hmmmm, Sounds like an easy way for SBUX to generate some free advertising in tough economic times. Personally I like Ladro better.
