By Juveria Tabassum and Waylon Cunningham (Reuters) -Starbucks said on Thursday it would close underperforming stores in North America, including its iconic Seattle roastery, as CEO Brian Niccol presses ahead with his restructuring effort, which is expected to cost $1 billion in a bid to revive the company's flagging sales. The coffee chain's overall U.S. and Canada store count is expected to drop by 1%, or several hundred stores, by the end of the 2025 fiscal year. Niccol is trying to restore the chain' ...

合家团圆的中秋节，据说是星巴克打工人一年一度受难日。 今年推出了两款新品，一款叫圆满月饼，售价468元，五种口味齐全，包括黑巧金烘咖啡味、玫瑰酸奶味、青梅佛手柑味、桂香酒酿青稞味和金沙奶黄 味；另一款叫流金月饼，售价358元，只包含其中的三种口味。 358元6小颗的星巴克冰皮流心月饼，弥补了月饼界没有左宗棠鸡的遗憾，也靠层层下压的门店销售KPI扣动了"把员工发展成小微经销商"的发令枪。 在社交平台上，星巴克门店正职或兼职员工为了卖出月饼，不得不八仙过海各显神通：有人卷赠品送咖啡找黄牛，有人上BOSS直聘"卖月饼我要和老板 谈"，还有人拍起抽象短视频演绎求婚戏码，甚至还有员工秀起了自己的肌肉，将月饼盒款款放在胸口，撑出宽阔坚实的肩膀和手臂的肌肉线条，并配 文"买月饼送老公"，还有人不得不自掏腰包、垫钱自购，被称为「员工工资回收计划」。 9月11日，星巴克官方回应称："星巴克不允许垫款自购这种行为，这是原则问题。" 一方面是员工声称层层下压考核指标，把经营压力甩给门店，另一方面公司称"严禁自购"——最终指向的问题，月饼的销量到底由谁来负责？ 01 晒胸肌，拍短剧，星巴克月饼非吃不可吗？ 这是一场长达两个月的拉锯战 ...

星巴克本土业务即将卖身中资。 迪卡侬中国抛售百亿股权。 哈根达斯中国出售计划正在筹划当中。 这段时间，国际品牌在中国加速卖身，已经成了一桩公开的秘密。 当年在中国市场不可一世的外资品牌，如今也在饱尝世间冷暖，体会什么叫三十年河东，三十年河西。 这期内容，我想来聊一聊，这段外资品牌绵延40余年的中国史。 01 抢滩登陆 改革开放初期，当第一批外资品牌进入中国，将中国作为廉价的生产车间，以及未来可能的巨大市场之 时，它们也有过和这个市场温情脉脉的时候。 雀巢入华，在东北提供奶牛养殖技术并且收购奶源，又给云南带去了咖啡种苗、购销合同各种免息贷 款。 再比如宝洁，1988年就登陆广州成立合资企业，用海飞丝改变了中国消费者用肥皂甚至洗衣粉洗头发的 历史。 还有可口可乐入华之初，更是百依百顺。 必须是总裁亲自来谈合作，可以。 可口可乐只允许卖给外宾，不能消耗中国外汇，可以。 需要免费赠送中方一条装瓶线，没问题。 为何双方能如此温情体面，因为1978年，中国人均可支配收入也就343元，没什么闲钱能拿去消费。外 资品牌们也知道，这个市场，远远没到分蛋糕的时候。 如果只是布局，那完全可以先礼后兵。 但到了90年代中期，当中国的 ...
