Like graylocks said, "The company has about 130 outlets in Russia and Ukraine, according to Bank of America Securities. They are all licensed locations, so the Seattle-based company itself doesn’t operate them."
I wonder what coercion was used to get the licensee to close down?
Maybe they threatened to stop sending them frappuccino base.
Seriously, have no clue but perhaps the Kuwaiti Conglomerate has other locations worldwide that might have suffered a PR hit if they hadn't.
Yeah that’s easy to do. The license holder always holds the cards with plenty of provisos and declarations adaptable to a wide variety of circumstances. Shut off access and / or supplies and the license holder is stopped.
