The recent attacks rendered in Brussels, Belgium has led to devastating consequences for its business sector. It has been mentioned that Starbucks had stopped all of its operations in the area owing to the bombing incident.
According to a report from Seeking Alpha, one of the main reactions of the coffee shop is to close down operations and along with that move, the local jobs of the people were placed at risk.
The same report added, "The explosion at the airport occurred just outside a Starbucks store, although there's no official report on the exact location of the incident." Given the fact that the company operates 12 stores all across the Belgium, the massive shutdown caused worries and anxieties for its employees.
In a post from USA Today, it has been affirmed that one of the company's employee was injured during the bombing incident. In line with that, the Seattle-based coffee firm released its official statement stating, "We are deeply saddened by the senseless acts that have taken place in Brussels today. This store and all other Starbucks stores in Belgium will remain closed until further notice."
It stands to reason that the bombing incident that had baffled Brussels, Belgium affected not only those that were within the bombing proximity but the economy of the region is taking a downturn as well. To prove the latter, one post from Jobs & Hire revealed that even the U.S. shares on its airlines as well as the travel stocks were affected as well.
With the closing of the Starbucks stores all across Belgium, it remains uncertain as to when workforce and its people can resume working and gain back the lost revenues from the last couple of days.
