Concern continues to brew in Trenton, NJ, as the city's only Starbucks announced it will close its doors for good sometime soon.

Concern continues to brew in New Jersey's capital city as Trenton's only Starbucks store announced it will close its doors for good sometime soon.

The delay is due to the company wanting to make sure community members and customers can transition to new stores with employees being offered the chance for relocation, according to a spokesperson.“We are all working together to save this, but also to maintain the economic viability of Trenton’s downtown," the mayor told NBC10.

This Starbucks location has been in Trenton since 2017 and since then, people say it's really had ripple effects and it's a big blow to hear that it's closing., the community store program works with non-profits and civic leaders to bolster economic growth. The stores focus on"hiring locally, creating dedicated space for communities to come together for events and working with diverse contractors for store construction and remodels.

When asked if there's any hope for the store to stay open, Mayor W. Reed Gusciora said,"They were extremely positive."
