Maggie Jantzen, a corporate spokesperson for the coffee company, told NBC4 that stores all over the country were doing overnight "preventative maintenance on a water filtration system." Some stores were not able to finish the work soon enough to open on time the next morning. Several Columbus-area stores opened late, others decided to close for the entire day.
"Eighty to ninety percent of the stores that performed the maintenance were able to open on time," said Jantzen. She claimed not to know the number of stores affected or in how many states, however, some published reports have set the number at nearly 1,500.
"Oh. That's interesting. Makes me wonder what I was drinking before, I guess," said Leslie Piatt, a regular customer when told about the filtration system maintenance.
