MovieTowne evicting Detour to put Starbucks

[pete]

Buy a french press if you don't want to buy a percolator. Especially if you're just doing one serving. Same taste but without having to make a lot of coffee and wasting any.

[originalbling]

yea pete, was looking at those.

[desifemlove]

detour is run of mill men's fashion, i ent caring, plenty of places to buy trousers or shoes or ties or shirts..

Movietowne leases the outlets, the only case Detour have is if the lease agreemetn was broken. if not, suck up, they does have other outlets all over the place. Movietowne is supposed to position itself as a high-end shoping/entertainment place, not a place for clothing stores only grunters go to/work at.

this was not a clothing store

It is Detour Tech, a rebrand of their chain of RadioShack stores.

my bad.

point stands on the lease, if they have a case then it wrong if Movietowne violated the tenancy.

[fouljuice]

I would would always remember Radioshack as the stores who would sell blank CDs for $20 when everywhere else was $5 max.

jus a thought, ent Rituals essentially using the positioning of Starbucks? i can see Rituals losing sales big time, why getcopy if yuh can get original? Japs or Royal Castle doh get KFC's revenues, i bet, and will remain minor players in that market for a while, same with Rituals.

[desifemlove]

Good luck to Starbuc[list=][list=][list=][list=][list=][list=][list=]ks
Almost all the food places not owned by movietowne either buss or sucking salt
The Chinese restaurant in front upstairs was paying over $200k rent , surprised they took so long to buss

is that per year? seems reasonable, they mus make thousands in sales per week.

[pugboy]

that analogy in both wrong and lacks thought, Rituals has many more locations than Starbucks which at the moment has none, Rituals is not a copy, they're a local (and regional) coffee chain, in fact Starbucks is the minority player and they're not an original either just have the best marketing/business model and whilst ppl will patronise either through curiosity, genuine preference etc, it will come down to cost, convenience and location the same thing that apply to fast food here.

[desifemlove]

business model of both is very similar, as in medium to high-end coffee in relaxing/chill locales. but as starbucks is global and may have better products/services, i can see rituals market share falling. KFC is the market leader, with japs and royals following so analogy is apt. i have no stats to prove this, but i'd be very surprised if KFC didnt' make more sales than the other chicken places.

This seems to a general tuner trend.

[kstt]

What discount they giving on the flat screens?

Anyone went or heard?


Btw all this talk about business model, it is the same bad service from trinis working there. Trinis employees can destroy any brand.

Starbucks is actually not really considered high end,
It is more the kfc of coffee shops
The real high end shops don't use a mass market roast
And workers know how to do a proper espresso shot, tamp etc
(If you doh know what tamping is sorry)

[Country_Bookie]

Starbucks planning to sell milo when dey open? Coffee is a taste I've never acquired.

[Country_Bookie]

Lol....this is what happens when Derek Chin find yuh beating up too much:

In addition to that, the same locals (some of whom have terrible attitudes) working in Ritual's are the same locals who are going to be working in Starbucks..

lol @ Shituals not being a copy. I've had several people mentioned that even the font fooled them a bit.



I'm more interested to hear about the level of training and perks that will be offered to employees by the local Sbux. Guess time will tell.

Detour-Tech: We're being evicted because we're not "international enough" for MovieTowne

The managers of Detour-Tech say the reason they are being evicted from MovieTowne, is because they are not "international" enough particularly since well-known international chain Starbucks is seeking space at MovieTowne.

Detour-Tech says it believes that the managers of MovieTowne want only international companies at the front of the establishment.

The following is a statement the managers of Detour-Tech issued today.

"Barada Information Systems Ltd., trading currently as DETOUR-tech, wishes to clarify the present situation at our MovieTowne store as reported in the media.

We have been exceptional A-Class tenants at MovieTowne for the past fourteen (14) years, and have successfully operated an electronics store there which currently trades as DETOUR-tech.

We once held a tenancy agreement and for several years understood that it would be renewed.

However, despite relying on the good-faith relationship we thought we shared with Movie Towne, we were sent notice of termination of our tenancy at this location, which had become month to month, in order to facilitate their replacement tenant – which we understand to be yet another coffee shop.

Barada was shocked by this conduct as we had operated in good-faith with MovieTowne for over fourteen (14) years. We also were told that the only real reason for this was that we were not “International” enough for this premium space. And that MovieTowne only wanted “International” brand names at the front “premium” retail spaces of the Mall.

Barada Information Systems Ltd. respects the decision of MovieTowne to terminate the lease and expresses its disappointment.of this development.

Barada Information Systems Ltd. which operates DETOUR-tech, will continue to provide quality products and service to its customers at its other 6 locations nationwide."
