Dec. 11 -England’s best known premier league soccer club, Manchester United FC, is set to open a café bar and retail outlet in Shanghai, after opening branches in South Korea, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, Singapore and Macau.
Additional outlets are also expected to be opened shortly in Mumbai and Hong Kong. The club is one of the most widely supported teams globally and is capitalizing on next year’s World Cup Finals with a target of 14 more outlets within Asia in the next two years.
The outlets will feature food, music, DVDs, live match broadcasts and Manchester United retail wear such as shirts and other memorabilia, plus training schemes and advice on football and physical fitness courses.
The Hong Kong outlet will display more of the club’s British roots and will probably offer fish and chips, sausages and mash, in addition to beer. The retail outlet arm of the club is operated by Singapore-based MUFB Asia. The club’s second outlet in Seoul opened last week. 作者: 水星的爱 时间: 2009-12-11 18:03
