The company says about a quarter of the cafes that will be spared are in Texas. The others announced Thursday are in Alabama, California, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia, and Washington.
The only store saved in Washington is in Spokane (3907 Market St.).
Executives said Wednesday they decided to keep roughly 30 company-owned cafes open after reviewing their finances. They were among 800 U.S. shops to be shut in an effort to shave costs companywide.
The chain announced plans in July 2008 to close more than 900 stores and cut as many as 6,700 jobs.
Starbucks shares fell 11 cents to $19.98 in trading Thursday.
