Coca Cola Goes Far Out
The Coca-Cola Company unveiled its Far Coast brand of premium brewed beverages today to an awaiting Toronto marketplace. Far Coast offers a wide range of coffees, teas and other exotic brews and infusions that are inspired by different cultural adventures in music, art and legends from around the world including, espressos, cappuccinos and lattes. Toronto has been chosen as the test launch city and the first concept store will launch September 22, 2006 on Bloor Street. Unlike Starbucks, which advertises sparsely and markets around the experience in its stores with ties to music and movies, Far Coast marketing is less place-based and focuses on how drinking the brand can help consumers experience exotic locales.
Starbucks Salon will be in New York
Launched earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, Starbucks Salon is designed as a place for an interactive exchange of ideas and entertainment forms. In an effort to modernize the traditional role of the coffeehouse, the temporary performance venue will emerge at cultural events and gatherings to celebrate budding artists, art forms, and established talent yearning to explore new artistic disciplines. Starbucks describes Starbucks Salon as a,“nomadic, interactive coffeehouse, gallery and performance venue all rolled into one.” The Starbucks Salon runs every day from September 8th through September 17th at 76 Green Street in New York city. Starbucks says, it is an, “inviting, eclectic environment featuring an amazing array of current art, constantly evolving music curated by a host of celebrated Djs, dynamic projected visuals and free nightly performances.”

The Golden Arches Get an Eyebrow
After three decades with the same face McDonald’s is undergoing a major redesign of its 30,000 restaurants worldwide. Why the lift? Well, the answer lies within their brand promise as being “forever young”. This is no easy feat, considering the fact that many McDonald's take on the local flavor of its locations around the globe.
Muted colors like olive, sage green, and terracotta will trade places with the bright reds on the outside and the inside. Still Golden, the architecture will embrace the color of the golden arches in the interior of the space.
Gramercy Park Hotel has a new owner with initials I.S.
Legendary, lifestyle design entrepreneur and hotelier, Ian Schrager, has transformed New York’s Gramercy Park Hotel, by honoring and renewing its Bohemian heritage. With Scharger’s vision of artful diversity, the new Gramercy Park Hotel is a sensual combination of styles, encompassing a medieval-style armchair to a soaring Venetian glass chandelier. His eclectic selection of great pieces of furniture and art and his extraordinary use of color has signaled a huge departure from Schrager’s “slick minimalism”.
The new shape of W is L
Building on its success, W has blown the hotel category out of the water again. This time they’ve created a concept called aloft. According to W travelers want more from their hotel than just a place to sleep. They want a place they can socialize, relax and meet others. W kept all this is mind, when they created aloft. They want to offer their visitors a “fresh, fun and fulfilling alternative to the same old, concrete, and polyester hotel experience.”
