Money Leopard stores closed, because the model is backward or because of consumer upgrading? Now the high-end buffet restaurant money leopard facing store closure phenomenon, I think the money leopard was forced to close most of the reasons are still because of the problem of consumer upgrading. "Money Leopard closes and the end of the era of the "Beijing Four"" - according to Xinjing: in 1991, Yuan Changping, a member of a military family, opened his first restaurant in Taichung City, Taiwan. "Money Leopard". The literal imagery of the leopard, combined with the cultural mentality of the rich Taiwanese of that era - who liked "luxury, grandeur, and lots of waitresses" - the hotel, which was claimed to be the largest in Southeast Asia, became the first "Money Leopard Hotel" in Taichung. The Golden Leopard Hotel, the largest hotel in Southeast Asia, became a landmark in Taichung City. After the turn of the millennium, when the world's economic map gradually shifted to the mainland, Yuan Changping moved the brand to the mainland and transformed it into an "upscale buffet", and in 2003, the Golden Leopard opened in Shanghai, quickly becoming the originator of China's buffet with its signature of a large-scale luxury buffet restaurant. Now, the buffet "large, noisy, not exquisite" label, it is difficult to please the emerging middle class favorite, which also explains to some extent the upgrading of China's consumption patterns.June 28, the money leopard Beijing Cuiwei store suffered more than a dozen suppliers door-to-door to collect debts, suppliers said, the money leopard owes 20 million yuan in debt. Moreover, Money Leopard's stores have closed down from 26 stores to just 1. On July 3rd, reporters visited Money Leopard's Cuiwei store, an independent restaurant, and found that the store was out of business. As mentioned above, most of the money leopard is oriented to the middle and upper classes, that is to say, the average ordinary civilians simply can not afford to consume, plus also can not China's rich in China accounted for not a lot of the proportion of most of the lower middle class civilians. Our consumption level is only limited to small restaurants, or slightly upscale restaurants, even if the money is also occasionally to go to such a high-grade buffet similar to the money leopard, we can not be like those who are rich as often as in and out of the money leopard such a restaurant. So ah, I think the public consumption level simply can not keep up with the trend of the times like the money leopard.
