MANHATTAN (WABC) -- Select Starbucks stores throughout Manhattan were closed on Sunday due to expected protests.
A Starbucks official said out of an abundance of caution and with partner and customer safety top of mind, the decision was made to close the stores.
Eyewitness News stopped by two Starbucks locations and both had signs posted on their window that said they were temporarily closed.
Operations are expected to resume on Monday.
So far no major protests or disruptions have been reported in NYC.
Meanwhile, some state capitols are closed, fences are up and extra police are in place at statehouses across the U.S. as authorities brace for potentially violent demonstrations over the coming days.
