Why the Midtown Starbucks closing may be a bigger story Feb 16, 2023

Show notes

So the story we broke of the Starbucks at Mack and Woodward in Detroit closing has gone locally semi-viral.

The response revealed a number of things at play that we're digging into, ranging from what appear to be very unsafe conditions for employees to a lack of mental health services.

Here we share our notes and myth-busting (so far) as we work on a more in-depth report on the issues, including mental health, facing the area.
