I’m going to hypothesize that the world’s two closest Starbucks are positioned one on top of the other in a mall somewhere, so their distance would be the thickness of a floor, or about a foot. That’s only if you allow vertical distance as an answer.
Limiting the answer to walking distance, in New York there are a few sets of Starbucks that are very close to each other:
207 feet, 116 and 135 East 57th Street: http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=starbucks+116+E.+57th+Street&daddr=135+East+57th+Street,+New+York,+NY+10022+(Starbucks)&hl=en&sll=40.76116,-73.969597&sspn=0.009134,0.021865&geocode=Ff_2bQIdwU6X-yGsBhMcmoua4g%3BFYX2bQIdxlGX-yFo8l8M_WRmZQ&vpsrc=0&gl=us&dirflg=w&mra=pd&t=m&z=19

I seem to recall two Starbucks literally across the street from each other in the San Francisco financial district. The Starbucks store locator (http://www.starbucks.com/store-locator) doesn’t reflect that, but it reports that there are locations at 333 and 398 Market Street. Google reports that those addresses are a mere 13 feet apart (http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=333+Market+Street,+San+Francisco,+CA&daddr=398+Market+St,+San+Francisco,+CA+94111&hl=en&sll=37.791738,-122.398308&sspn=0.008266,0.013078&geocode=FXamQAIdAly0-CmF8CC7Y4CFgDFeHlh2mVvkfA%3BFfqnQAIdnFm0-Cl5X-7IY4CFgDH6g7cUdzioSQ&vpsrc=0&dirflg=w&mra=ltm&t=m&z=19). That’s probably an underestimation. Someone should do a field test.
There’s a Starbucks inside a Meijer grocery store in the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana on Lima Road. In the parking lot of the shopping center next door, there is a Starbucks inside of a strip mall.
Total estimated distance: 300 yards.
30 feet.
Probably the Starbucks I’m at right now, where I’m writing this answer.
885 Higuera St, San Luis Obispo, CA, USA

No one has mentioned Lewis Black (the comedian) and his bit about two Starbucks across the street from one another in Houston, TX. There’s a video on CollegeHumor: http://www.collegehumor.com/video/56676
