Caribou Coffee lovers may need to look a bit further for their caffeine fix.

The Minneapolis-based coffee company said Monday that it is closing 80 underperforming stores and converting another 88 stores to Peet’s Coffee & Tea sites.

Caribou says it is making the changes after several months of consideration to better position the coffee company for long-term growth. The company says the store closures will occur in April but did not disclose where the closures would occur.

The conversions will occur over the next 12 to 18 months in Washington D.C. and eight states: Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Illinois and Wisconsin.

Going forward, Caribou Coffee will be made up of 468 locations in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Western Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina, Colorado and 10 international markets.

Caribou was taken private last year by German investment firm Joh. A Benckiser Group GmbH, which also holds a majority stake in Peet’s.

A representative for Peet’s could not be reached for comment.
