NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Several Starbucks locations in Manhattan were closed Sunday "out of an abundance of caution" in light of possible protests, the company told 1010 WINS.

"Out of an abundance of caution and in keeping partner and customer safety top of mind, local leaders have made the decision to close select stores in the Manhattan area due to expected protests happening today," a Starbucks spokeswoman told 1010 WINS Sunday.


She added, "We will resume operations tomorrow."

Many employees also live outside of Manhattan, so the Seattle-based company also wanted to make sure they would be able to return home safely and easily.

Java addicts took to Twitter early Sunday to express dissatisfaction that locations were closed.
