The company said that the decision to close down this cafe was “very congenial” and it respected the site’s motives.

Starbucks’ vice-president for Greater China Eden Woon added in a statement: “There were several choices, one of which was to continue, but it would not carry the Starbucks name any more. We decided at the end that it is not our custom worldwide to have stores that have any other name, so therefore we decided the choice would be to leave.”
