I would love to write in this low-key tongue-in-cheek-way.
Standard reporting format but subtly puts across the writers point of view.

What specifically is it about this story that works for you? When developing a style, it is a good idea to save articles (like you've done here) but also analyze and deconstruct them to get to something concrete that you can take away and use yourself.
The closure of a single Starbucks is really trivial. As the writer points out, people now have to walk another 5 minutes to get to the next Starbucks. But the greater story is important as 600 Starbucks are closing. So it needs to be told, and this was a great way to tell the 'local' story interviewing real people.....
