日前，奢侈珠宝品牌Tiffany & Co旗下小蓝盒咖啡开始发力亚洲市场，并计划在上海开出大陆首店，不过具体信息及店铺位置尚未公布。
品牌CEO Alessandro Bogliolo在第二财季的电话会议上表示，除了布局咖啡门店外，还将在北京国际机场新增一间免税店。会上还讨论了品牌将加紧开发新产品、新系列，并优化官网搜索引擎。
品牌第二季度全球销售额下滑3％至10亿美元，而可比销售下滑4％。Bogliolo表示，中国香港地区的政治因素对品牌的业绩也造成了一些影响，同时也表达了对中美贸易战的担忧。
在本月初，Tiffany就宣布将在香港分别开设一间亚洲最大旗舰店及咖啡店，两家店铺分别于本月初和下月中旬开业。
Luxury jeweller Tiffany & Co is planning to open a Blue Box cafe in Shanghai as well as the one earlier announced in Hong Kong.
The new eateries will be the first permanent cafes launched by the brand outside its New York City flagship. The location of the Blue Box cafe in Shanghai was not revealed.
The plans were announced by the group’s CEO Alessandro Bogliolo during a conference call on the firm’s second-quarter results, however details were scant.
Bogliolo also revealed a new duty-free store will open at Beijing International Airport.
Other issues discussed during the call included the firm’s plans to speed up the development of new lines and products, and expectations to recover from a downturn in sales caused by a recent website overhaul that negatively impacted on its search engine optimisation.
Tiffany’s global sales dropped 3 per cent to US$1 billion during the second quarter, while comp-store sales dropped 4 per cent. Bogliolo said the decline was partially due to losing almost a week’s trading time during the Hong Kong protests.
The firm’s executive VP and CFO also voiced concerns about the US-China trade war.
Luxury jewellery retailer Tiffany & Co is set to open its largest flagship store in Asia at One Peking Road – and with it the first Blue Box Cafe in Hong Kong. The flagship and cafe – the first in Asia – will soft open early this month and mid next month respectively.

奢侈时尚品牌Balenciaga近日在日本东京开了一间新门店，位于六本木新城的中心地区的商业综合体内。
新店位于商场二层，内部装修由品牌创意总监Demna Gvasalia打造，粗糙的混凝土表面、悬浮的钢制衣架、置物架等，体现低调的工业风；地面则以霓虹灯蓝为主色调，形成强烈的对比，比较有视觉冲击力。
新店的外观也做了调整，门口的两个方形石柱上饰有Balenciaga的字样；店内的产品包括男装、女装、鞋履、包袋配饰等。
BALENCIAGA has recently opened a new store in Tokyo the very heart of neighbourhood of Roppongi Hills, within a massive shopping complex attached to the 54-storey Mori Tower.
Balenciaga is the latest luxury brand to join the ranks, opening a boutique on the Second Floor. The interior design, concocted by the brand’s quirky creative director Demna Gvasalia, is understated and intentionally contains rough edges, resulting in an intriguing industrial setting with bare concrete surfaces, suspended steel clothing racks and shelving, and in stark contrast, carpeting in a neon blue shade.
Interestingly, and as far as we know it’s a global first, the immediate vicinity outside has been tweaked, given two chunky pillars bearing the fashion house’s name. The new Balenciaga store carries the brand’s men’s and women’s apparel, shoes and accessories.
The world's largest Starbucks will open in Chicago
全球最大星巴克门店将于美国芝加哥开业
来源：CNN Business
星巴克将于今年11月15日在美国芝加哥开设一间新店，取代位于东京的烘焙工坊成为全球最大的一间星巴克门店。
据悉，芝加哥店共有4层，占地43,000平方英尺（约合3,994.83平方米），此前，这里曾是美式家居品牌Crate & Barrel的店舖。
Starbucks一直将烘焙工坊设计的如同旅游景点一般，并且有咖啡、茶饮、巨型烘焙桶，还有提供鸡尾酒、小食等的吧台。目前，品牌在全球拥有六个烘焙工坊，包括纽约，米兰和上海。
Starbucks不断布局新门店、改进技术、推出新品等。据品牌最新财报显示，第三季度全球门店中，开业时间一年以上的门店销售总额同比增长了6％；净销售额也创下68亿美元的历史新高。
Starbucks is opening the world's largest Roastery in Chicago.
The company said the restaurant will open on November 15, overtaking Tokyo as its biggest location of the lavish offshoot. The four-story Chicago Roastery is 43,000 square feet and is replacing a former Crate and Barrel location in the city's Magnificent Mile neighborhood.
Roasteries are intended to be tourist attractions in themselves. They feature specialty coffees and teas, on-premise roasters and massive coffee casks where freshly roasted beans are held. They also have bars with craft cocktails and serve fancier food than a normal Starbucks location.
When Starbucks announced the Chicago location in 2017, it said would be a "fully sensorial coffee environment" dedicated to roasting and brewing Starbucks' coffees from around the world. The location will also feature the company's artisan bakery concept, Princi.
Starbucks is also using the Roasteries to test out design concepts and menu items — and to double down on its promise of offering a "third place" between home and work, even as it focuses on speed and convenience elsewhere.
In total, Starbucks has six Roastery locations across the world including New York, Milan and Shanghai.
The company is aggressively opening restaurants, improving its technology, developing new products, and expanding its rewards program. The tactics are paying off: Sales at cafes open at least a year grew 6% globally in the third quarter, Starbucks announced in its most recent earnings report. Net sales also hit an all-time high of $6.8 billion. The stock is up 50% this year.
