You might need to find a new spot for your daily Caramel Macchiato, or prepare to wait in an even longer line at the remaining stores, because several Starbucks locations around the Sioux Falls area just brewed their last cup.
Over the weekend, Starbucks quietly closed the doors on a handful of Sioux Empire locations as part of a nationwide restructuring effort.
Dakota News Now reports, the Seattle-based coffee giant didn’t share exactly how many locations were axed, but “several hundred” across the U.S. and Canada reportedly served their final Frappuccino. Can we get a moment of silence for the blender?

Locally, here’s who’s gone:
-
1403 North Marion Road (Marion & Career)
-
2230 South Marion Road (Marion & Lake Shore)
-
1501 West 41st Street (41st & Grange)
-
108 Venture Place in Tea

And the brand-spanking-new Starbucks in Harrisburg, which oddly enough never even opened. Built, but never barista’d.
The now-closed Sioux Falls locations weren’t exactly seasoned veterans either; most were only open for two to three years themselves…
