Redding news roundup: Starbucks in Anderson closes after employee tests positive for COVID-19

The Starbucks store in Anderson has temporarily closed after an employee there tested positive for COVID-19.

Starbucks said the store will remain closed while officials do a "deep clean" of the coffee shop and assemble a new staff that is negative for the coronavirus

A green sign taped up to the entrance only says the store is closed. It wasn't clear how long the store would be closed, but a Starbucks official said a deep clean usually takes a day or two.

The coffee shop is located at 5046 Rhonda Road, in the same shopping center as the Walmart store. Trash bins also blocked the entrance to the drive-through to the Starbucks.

"Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience. We are working to reopen our store as quickly as possible," the notice on the door says.

The message on the door urges customers to download the Starbucks app or to go to starbucks.com to find a nearby store.
