    None of the unionized Starbucks locations in Canada shut down after their union drive, although I get your concern, corporate can be sneaky!

          Aren’t individual locations owned by private individuals - franchisees?

            Most Starbucks locations aren’t franchises and are directly owned by corporate

                TBF, lots of other chains have a franchise model so it’s easy to mix up
