The fake Starbucks Cafe in the United States is now named "stupid Starbucks."
Los Angeles County Health Department closed a fake Starbucks coffee shop in Los Felix on the 10th. The cafe quickly became popular on social networks because it copied Starbucks' appearance.
The coffee shop owner, a Canadian comedian, prefixed the name of Starbucks with the word "DUMB" (meaning "dumb, silent, silent" in Chinese) and called it art. Netizens translated it as "brain-damaged Starbucks".
The license is incomplete
Fake Starbucks opened quietly in the corner of a shopping mall in California on the 7th. The identity of the owner was revealed on the 10th after a lot of speculation that he was the Canadian comedian Nathan Field.
Field currently works as a host on the Comedy Center Channel in the United States.
On the same day the identity of the store owner was revealed, the Los Angeles Times reported that fake Starbucks had been ordered to suspend business without a health permit.
Field held a press conference outside the store on the same day to inform customers that they were closed. He was wearing a green apron with the logo of a fake Starbucks. Outside, tens of customers are waiting in line for drinks.
He told the crowd that he was pursuing the "American Dream" and said his show Nathan for you, broadcast on the Comedy Center Channel, would use the show.
A reporter asked if the Comedy Center Channel knew about him opening a coffee shop. Field replied, "they know now."
Business is booming
Fake Starbucks quickly became popular on social networking site Facebook and Weibo Twitter after it opened. Throughout the weekend, the coffee shop was doing brisk business, with waiting lines stretching to parking lots and even neighborhoods.
Curious people either take selfies in front of the door or take pictures of the long line in front of the door. Some people jumped the queue to avoid two hours of waiting and were immediately thrown out of the queue.
It was not easy to taste the long-awaited coffee, and customers commented that the coffee did not taste good, using adjectives such as "disgusting" and "bitter".
Fake Starbucks drinks are served in green and white cups. The price list shows that a variety of drinks are available, such as iced coffee, cappuccino and seasonal lattes.
However, given that it is still in the promotion period, customers can only get iced coffee and lattes for free.
Li Kui cracked down on counterfeiting
Fake Starbucks immediately attracted the attention of Starbucks coffee chains. "although we appreciate the humor, they cannot use our names," Starbucks spokesman Laurel Harper wrote in an email. The Starbucks trademark is protected. "
Mr. Harper said most trademark disputes are handled through informal channels, suggesting that Starbucks may not take legal action against fake Starbucks.
Field said on the 10th that he has always wanted to start a small business, and using Starbucks' name does make his coffee shop start higher.
Field said he wanted to have a store in Brooklyn, New York.
