BOISE - Starbucks will close only two stores in Idaho, both of those being here in the Treasure Valley.

The Seattle-based coffee giant announced earlier this month it was shutting down 600 stores nationwide due to the slumping economy.

The Starbucks stores in the Meridian Fred Meyer and the Capitol Village in Boise will be closed by next March.
