The surrounding coffee shops are small businesses run by local people who rely on good sales for their income.
If Starbucks stays open, it can add an insignificant amount of profit to its already huge annual takings, and provide 5/6 jobs.
For the surrounding small businesses this means significantly lower profits and life destroying closures.
The overall local economy suffers as Brighton loses its trade appeal: individuality
