    I don't know anything about the arrangements, but aren't quite a few Starbucks *inside* B&N stores? If the B&N store closes, what happens to the associated Starbucks store?

    It's not immediately obvious to me how this would be a positive development for Starbucks?

    may be that the stores with the starbucks in them are more profitable and will be less likely closed?

    Not really a worry --- SBUX opens and closes stores continually on an at need and profit basis.
