All Starbucks cafes in Jakarta have been closed until further notice following explosions in Central Jakarta on Thursday.
Seven blasts occurred near Sarinah shopping center in Central Jakarta, including one inside the Starbucks cafe located in the Skyline building across the road, also known as the Djakarta Theatre building.
The cafe as well as other Starbucks' establishments in Jakarta will reportedly remain closed, out of an "abundance of caution", until further notice, according to an official statement on the Starbucks global website.
The American coffee franchise stated that one customer sustained injuries and was treated at the scene, while all employees were confirmed safe.
"We are deeply saddened by the senseless acts that have taken place in Jakarta today; our hearts are with the people of Indonesia," the statement said.
Aghnia, an employee at one of Starbucks' branches in Kuningan, South Jakarta, confirmed that the place where she worked, located in the Cyber Building 2, was immediately closed following the blasts. (liz/kes)
