Confusion among coffee lovers is bound to bother them as café company Starbucks had varying store timing for different outlets on Thanksgiving Day this year. However, reports say that the same is likely to be followed today on Black Friday 2024, as holiday hours vary in locations.
Hence, it is advised to download the official app and check the timing for your nearest store. Nevertheless, chances are high that the stores might remain open on Black Friday.
In 2023, Starbucks posted a press release on its website stating that the stores might adjust their working hours depending on business and consumer needs. Reportedly, most stores would remain open between 5 AM and 10 PM, but there might be special cases too.
For example, stores in New York will open between 6:30 AM and 7 AM. Similarly, most outlets in Denver, Colorado, will open at 5 AM, but some stores would be operational from 6:30 AM. However, many of the stores are even operational now and would stay so till evening.
Customers are advised to check the timings via the store locator on starbucks.com and then head to their nearest store.
Will there be Black Friday 2024 deals at Starbucks?
In October 2024, the café company announced that it would roll back its discounts and promotions under the leadership of the new CEO, Brian Niccol. In an internal meeting held in September 2024, he told the employees that Starbucks would stand up to its fame as the coffeehouse for great coffee.
Over the past year, inflation and rising menu prices led food giants to use discounts to attract customers. The café company introduced various promotions and deals, some of which were available on the app. Over the summer, it offered 50% off cold drinks, followed by weekly free fall drink promotions in September with qualifying purchases.
While these strategies boosted sales, they also created challenges, including unpredictable customer surges that strained staffing and delayed service. Store managers and baristas noted that the promotions made it difficult to maintain efficiency and accuracy.
Hence, to address these issues, it shifted its focus to enhancing the quality of its food, beverages, and service. Despite that, one of the ongoing offers that customers can enjoy is the Starbucks Rewards Program, through which customers can earn free drinks and more. Additionally, they can avail the personal cup bonus offer too. Also, don’t forget to try the new holiday items.
