Days after Starbucks announced that it would be closing 16 U.S. locations due to safety concerns, even more, grim news lies ahead for the coffee chain. A video shared by radio host Ari Hoffman on Twitter last week shows Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz speaking on the future of the company at an internal meeting.

Schultz echoed the sentiments of a letter two Starbucks senior vice presidents shared with partners on July 11. And that sentiment is that a number of Starbucks locations have simply become unsafe.

“I don’t have to spend too much time on what’s going on in the country and how America has become unsafe… But you all read the press release over the last couple of days about the fact that we are beginning to close stores that are not unprofitable,” said Schultz. “But we’re closing stores as a result of the co-creations sessions that we’ve had. Almost 60 now.”
