Machi Doggie Fashion & Coffee, a pet coffee shop named after the dog "Machi", has been open for more than three years. The coffee shop announced on the social networking site yesterday that it will be open until the 27th of this month due to the expiration of the lease and operational adjustments.

Kunling opened a coffee shop named after its dog in February 2016. since its opening, it has been located in the bustling business district of Ximenting in response to the fame of her husband Jay Chou and Kunling. Jay Chou often goes to the store to publicize for his wife's shop, and also acts as a "consultant" to give timely advice, such as decoration and even new dishes. Since the coffee shop has been operating for more than three years, many loyal customers have accumulated. Jay Chou often appears in the shop from time to time and is "caught" by many diners. This time, due to the expiration of the lease and the operation adjustment, the coffee shop announced a temporary closure, which made many fans reluctant to give up.

"Machi Doggie Fashion & Coffee" announced on the 5th, "after more than three years, many meals and activities have been held. I wonder how much laughter time has accumulated here?" However, there is always a feast that will come to an end. Because of the relationship between the expiration of the lease and the adjustment of operations, we have decided to stay open until 2019-3-27. " It is also hoped that customers will seize the opportunity before going out of business and go to the store to relive their memories. "in the future, if there is a chance to start again, it will be announced to everyone again."

The business of star IP is booming, but it falls on the rent.

It's hard to remember the long name of Machi Doggie Fashion & Coffee. From the outside, it looks more like a Jiachao brand clothing store, if you don't see coffee passing by after the name of the store, you may not know that this is a coffee shop! Usually stars open stores will have a celebrity effect, visiting customers not only want to feel the new experience, but also hope to "run into" artists, tainted with star elegant demeanor.

The overall interior of Kunling is American-style industrial style, because it is named after the dog Machi, so you can also see that the signboard LOGO and tableware are mainly based on this Pomeranian Maggie Machi, and many girls and young women are attracted to sign in because of their lovely shape. Sometimes Jay Chou doesn't have a local seat when he visits the coffee shop.

The coffee shop, named after Kunling pet Machi, also features cute Machi muffins, and specially molded in Belgium to create exclusive lollipop-shaped muffins. In addition, there are Machi cotton lattes, spaghetti, ice cream, and so on. The store will also sell some limited edition Machi cups and self-made fashion brand WOOF clothing.

As for the reasons for the store closure, Machi Doggie Coffee said that due to the closure due to the expiration of the lease and operational adjustment, the later plan will be readjusted and planned. But many people speculate that the real reason should be related to high store rents.

Kunling Cafe specializes in coffee and western food. Although it is located in a prosperous area, the price of its products is quite close to the people. According to the menu on the official website, a regular latte costs only 150 RMB 160 NT (about 33 yuan), which is not much more expensive than the 120NT $for a medium latte at Starbucks in Taiwan. The average price of other western food is only about 300NT $(about 65 yuan) per serving. With the high cost of rent and pricing, it is really difficult to make a profit.

It is reported that this coffee shop is located at exit 1 of Taipei MRT Ximen Station, which is in a bustling area with relatively high rent stalls. It is understood that the monthly rent of the lot is between 100000 and 200000, and the annual rent for the shops rented by Kunling is expected to be 30 million New Taiwan dollars (about 6.5 million RMB). Nearby stores once closed down because their income was out of proportion to their expenses, and now Kunling has become one of them.

Fans burst into tears: I haven't run into Jay Chou yet!

Not only did Kun Ling, the sister-in-law of Tianwang, personally make coffee, cook meals with supervisors, and interact with guests when she was the boss, but Jay Chou often visited the store, celebrated birthdays here, and held many entertainer parties, so that many fans would especially go to spend money to see if they could catch traces of idols.

Although the coffee shop is owned by Kunling, Jay Chou occasionally acts as a "consultant" to give advice at the right time, such as decoration and even new dishes. He likes to take out crispy grilled chicken burger muffins, which are Chou's original meals that inspired him when he traveled to Japan. Other popular dishes in the restaurant include original dessert lollipop muffins and Machi marshmallow lattes, while the limited ice drop coffee comes with special ice cubes in the shape of dog palms.

Last year, fans were lucky to see Jay Chou perform magic tricks in a coffee shop, quickly swapping hands to show two little tricks, interacting with guests more closely, and finally getting signatures, which made many netizens envy.

Many fans go to Kunling Cafe to see if they can meet Jay Chou. In the past, many fans met Jay Chou in the coffee shop, and Jay Chou never refused the request of the fans for a group photo.

"I can't wait for Jay Chou."my only chance to get close to Jay is gone again." many fans said that they had not been there yet, which was a great pity. "I haven't even been there yet. I'm going to go quickly."I look forward to seeing you again."

As for the sudden closure of the coffee shop, Kunling's agent said, "the plan will be readjusted and planned."
