Peet’s Coffee closing 3 shops in Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Los Altos

Peet’s Coffee is closing three of its shops on the Peninsula — one each in Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Los Altos.

The last day of business will be Sunday, Nov. 24, for the locations at 436 University Ave. in Palo Alto, 515 El Camino Real in Menlo Park and 4598 El Camino Real in Los Altos.

“We open and close coffeebars each year for a variety of reasons,” a Peet’s spokeswoman said Tuesday. “As with any retail business, Peet’s Coffee must keep pace with changing markets to enable healthy growth. While not easy decisions, regional adjustments to our coffeebar presence is important for effectively managing our resources and for accelerating our business.”

The closures still will leave residents of these cities with plenty of Peet’s shops for their Major Dickason’s fix.

Peet’s will maintain three locations in Palo Alto, she said, at Town & Country Village, at 3904 Middlefield Road and at 153 Homer Ave. (reopening this Friday after renovations). The downtown Menlo Park Peet’s at 899 Santa Cruz Ave. will remain open, as will a shop at 367 State St. in Los Altos.
