New opening SIBIU PIATA MARE
My dears,

We are proud to announce all of you that after a really challenging period we
managed to open Sibiu Piata Mare ( the 33th store in Romania, and the first one in this
beautiful city - Sibiu) !!!!!!!!
The building is a historical one, from 1585 and the architecture helped us create a
unique design, cozy atmosphere, perfect for our customers to chat, meet or work;
We had a great support team from different stores and regions ( AMAZING & THANK
YOU) in order to deliver everything on time, so special THANKS again to Valentin Niculescu &
Anca Eclemea that were involved in the whole process from the beginning;
Many thanks to the following partners: Simona Budescu, Cristian Iosif, Florin Rosu,
Stefan Vinatoru, Peneva Milena, Andreea Jura, Raluca Staicu, Sabina Petrescu, Sorina Butea for
making the opening manageable and enjoyable & Mateusz Sielecki for giving us the
opportunity to be part of such a great journey;
Strong results from day 1 - 8th December - (opening hours 13:30): 840 transactions;
continued today with 900 transactions up to now so fingers crossed: we plan the remaining of
the month to be with high traffic & strong sales!

With the help of our partners and through our coffee we started to spread our
company values: an atmosphere of warmth and sense of belonging, where everyone is
welcomed, an atmosphere we will try to sustain with doing our best in all we do, holding
ourselves accountable for results with dignity, transparency and respect.

With gratitude & warm hugs,

Adriana Romitan & Mihaela Tudose 😊

STARBUCKS STORY
12 Years of Starbucks Christmas Blend

When you pick up a bag of Starbucks® Christmas Blend this season, look closely. Just like the coffee
inside, the package is a unique work of art. Starbucks introduced Christmas Blend in 1984, starting what
has become a beloved tradition. Each year, designers create a new bag for the latest Christmas Blend
vintage. In the spirit of “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” we are looking back at twelve years of designs
that capture the imagination and fun details of the season.

Cozy winter villages and starry nights. Whimsical scenes of ice-skating, caroling, and playing in the
snow. Shiny ornaments, boughs of holly, gifts, and trees bedecked with garlands and stars. These are
the joyful images that have delighted Christmas Blend fans over the years.

The 2016 design celebrates the aged Sumatra coffee beans that are at the heart of Christmas Blend.
Notice the subtle artwork embedded in the festive, red bags. Like hidden gems, intricate illustrations tell
stories of the land and careful work that goes into growing Sumatra coffee. This special recipe of aged
Sumatra, Latin American, and Indonesian beans is our gift to you.

Christmas Blend is a sweet and spicy addition to all of your holiday activities, and it makes a great gift ,
too. Plus, it’s much easier to fit in a stocking than a “partridge in a pear tree.” Merry Christmas!
