The coffee shop recently removed seating options inside the cafe. Daily Detroit, who first reported this story on Tuesday, said the store closed because of safety concerns.

According to Daily Detroit, Starbucks reps had been working with the store and the city of Detroit to operate a safer store for employees and customers. But they couldn’t find a solution.

The store has been open since 2016.
