‘Small affordable luxury’

The first two stores are just a start, because the Dutch chain feels there is room for eight stores in Singapore, according to statements from its co-owner Alexander de Ronde Bresser in RetailTrends’ February issue.

 

Chocolate is a ‘small affordable luxury’ in Asia, an obtainable and affordable treat that people can quickly pay for once their financial situation is a bit better.
