- Boeing facilities have twelve Tully’s coffee shops — one quarter of all the Tully’s. Those are going away, and Tully’s is speaking out.

“Boeing’s never-ending cost-cutting and moving thousands of jobs out of Seattle has had a huge impact on our business,” the statement said. “Opening and closing stores at Boeing due to the ever-changing whims of Boeing management is simply not profitable for Tully’s any longer.”
