    [단독 외신] Muji files for US bankruptcy in latest coronavirus casualty
    [단독외신] Muji files for US bankruptcy in latest coronavirus casualty Enlarge Image A man walks in front of a Muji store closed by the coronavirus in New York City. Trendy Japanese retailer Muji’s US business filed for bankruptcy Friday, making it the latest corporate casualty of the coronavirus crisis. The minimalist home-goods chain plans to close some unprofitable stores and renegotiate rents in the US after the pandemic forced its 18 American locations to shut down in March, according to its Tokyo-based parent company, Ryohin Keikaku. Muji USA started the Chapter 11 restructuring despite announcing plans in May to reopen a handful of stores, where it sells simply designed dishes, beauty products and other items. The business has liabilities of $50 to $100 million, according to its bankruptcy filing. Muji is the latest chain to fall victim to the COVID-19 crisis that has pushed several major retailers into bankruptcy in recent months, including J.Crew, JCPenney, Neiman Marcus and Brooks Brothers. Ryohin Keikaku said the US bankruptcy won’t affect its business in other markets. It has 975 stores around the world under the Muji and IDÉE banners, including more than 400 in its home base of Japan. The company has nevertheless suffered as the pandemic shut retail stores worldwide and shut consumers in their homes to stop the virus from spreading. Ryohin Keikaku reported a net loss of about 4.1 billion yen ($38.5 million) for the quarter that ended May 31, compared with a net profit of roughly 6.6 billion yen ($61.7 million) in the year-earlier quarter.

  • [단독] Facebook is killing Lasso, its TikTok copycat app
    [단독] Facebook is killing Lasso, its TikTok copycat app Facebook is shutting down its TikTok competitor Lasso. The social network introduced the app — which allows users to make short video clips similar to TikToks — back in November 2018. The digital white flag was spotted by a reporter from CNN, and users of the app were informed it would be killed on July 10. It’s not the first time Facebook has shut down copycat apps. It previously killed apps called Poke and Camera — imitations of Snapchat and Instagram — after they failed to gain much traction. Facebook later purchased Instagram for $1 billion. Facebook also recently shut down Pinterest clone Hobbi. The shuttering of Lasso comes ahead of Instagram’s own TikTok-like tool, called Reels. Instagram has found great success copying the features of Facebook’s rivals, including stealing stories and face filters from Snapchat. Reels will allow users to make 15-second video clips set to music and post them to their story. The videos will also have the potential to go viral on a Top Reels feed in the app’s Explore section.

  • [단독] McDonald’s halts US reopening plans amid coronavirus surge
    [단독] McDonald’s halts US reopening plans amid coronavirus surge McDonald’s has halted plans to reopen its dining rooms amid a surge in coronavirus infections. The fast-food giant will not resume dine-in service at any more US restaurants for three weeks as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to climb, the company said in a Wednesday letter. “This surge shows nobody is exempt from this virus — even places that previously had very few cases,” McDonald’s USA President Joe Erlinger and Mark Salebra, chair of the National Franchisee Leadership Alliance, wrote in the letter viewed by The Post. “Moving forward, we will continue to monitor the situation and adjust as needed to protect the safety of our employees and customers.” Roughly 2,200 of McDonald’s 14,000 US locations have already reopened their dining rooms. Dine-in service can continue in places that allow it, the letter says, though the company advised restaurant owners and operators to review any new guidance from government officials. The Wall Street Journal first reported on the change. The move came as several states ordered restaurants and bars to close or scale back service as they grappled with the jump in infections. The US on Wednesday recorded more than 50,000 COVID-19 cases for the first time since the pandemic began, according to Johns Hopkins University data. McDonald’s global comparable sales plunged nearly 30 percent year-over-year in April and May as the vast majority of its restaurants were limited to carry-out, drive-through and delivery service, the company said in a June 16 regulatory filing. The Chicago-based chain announced plans last month to hire roughly 260,000 restaurant employees this summer as the US began to emerge from its economic lockdown. It’s uncertain how the pause on reopening dining rooms will affect those plans.

  • [단독외신] Coty changes CEO again, hires former L’Oreal executive
    [단독외신]Coty changes CEO again, hires former L’Oreal executive Coty on Thursday named former L’Oreal executive Sue Nabi as chief executive officer, the cosmetics maker’s fifth since its multibillion-dollar deal with Procter & Gamble nearly five years ago. The company’s shares, which have lost more than 60 percent this year, rose about 5 percent in early trading, although they were up only 1.1 percent shortly after noon. Nabi will take over from Peter Harf, who was appointed to the top job in June, a move that placed the fortunes of the company squarely in the hands of its largest shareholder JAB Holdings, in which Harf is a partner. Harf was brought in to rescue the company from a series of CEO departures after years of slowing sales and mounting debt as it struggled to integrate the brands acquired from Procter & Gamble. “This was unexpected… We thought Harf would stay,” D.A. Davidson analyst Linda Bolton Weiser said. Harf will remain with Coty as its executive chairman and Nabi, the company’s first female CEO, will take over on Sept. 1, the company said. Nabi, who has been credited for reviving L’Oreal’s makeup brand Lancôme, faces an uphill task of rescuing Coty’s sales and steering it through the coronavirus crisis. She is also the founder of a vegan and ultra-luxury skincare brand, a category where Coty is trying to focus. “The most important takeaway is that Nabi brings a lengthy Beauty background, something that has been lacking with prior CEOs,” Wells Fargo analyst Joe Lachky said. The company has been trying to streamline its business and partner with brands endorsed by celebrities with huge social media following to make its products resonate better with millennial customers.
