With the age of the Internets and shopping for stuff online, good old fashion retail stores need that “shock and awe” to get shoppers into stores. Like the cool geeky Apple retail stores, streetwear boutiques have done the same by making brick & mortar stores a neat event place to come in and buy stuff. One such shop is 24 Kilates in Bangkok, Thailand. This innovative sneaker shop looks like a Swiss bank vault. The shoes are kept in safety-type deposit boxes. Now that’s neat.

Lost in Translation @ Japan Retail Store
January 17, 2012 by Leave a Comment
A Japanese department store wanted to tell customers about their awesome sales event – but got the wrong English translation in their ads. If it’s a f****** sale”, I think it should be more than 20% off.
