The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is closing all 12 of its franchised locations in New York City in October.
“It is our hope that when The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf returns to New York, the new store owners will deliver the products and service our customers have come to expect through their experiences at the other 1,000+ company-owned and franchised The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf locations around the world,” according to the release.
The press release said the company “values the brand’s loyal following in the Big Apple.” No timetable was disclosed.
