Puskar, File)2025-02-25T16:06:48Z NEW YORK (AP) Starbucks is making cuts to its menu, with some of the coffee giants less popular beverages set to take their final bow next week.In an announcement Monday, Starbucks outlined plans to remove a selection of its drinks including several blended Frappuccino beverages, the Royal English Breakfast Latte and the White Hot Chocolate starting on Tuesday, March 4.These items arent commonly purchased, can be complex to make, or are like other beverages on our menu, Starbucks wrote. The Seattle-based company added that simplifying its menu would allow it to focus on fewer, more popular items, executed with excellence. Starbucks says these cuts will reduce wait times, improve consistency and make way for innovation. The chain says it will continue to introduce a handful of other new items and seasonal specials, such as its Cortado beverage introduced last month and a new Iced Cherry Chai set to debut in the spring. The menu changes arrive amid wider restructuring at the Seattle-based company. Starbucks also said that it would be laying off 1,100 corporate employees globally this week with CEO Brian Niccol citing needs to operate more efficiently. Niccol joined the chain as CEO in August. Beyond next weeks menu cuts, Starbucks says that additional beverages and food will also exit its menu in the coming months representing a roughly 30% reduction by the end of the 2025 fiscal year in the U.S. But heres a list of the drinks that are set to be removed on March 4, which the company shared with The Associated Press: 1.
