The coffee giant recently closed the store at 25030 Hancock Ave., in the Stater Bros. shopping center, but says there are plans to open another branch in the city soon.

"As part of Starbucks standard course of business, we continually evaluate our business to ensure a healthy store portfolio," a Starbucks Coffee spokesperson said in an emailed response to Patch. "After careful consideration, we’ve determined that it is best to close the location at Hancock Avenue at this time, but look forward to opening a new store in Murrieta later this year."

The possible location of that new store was not disclosed by Starbucks.
