Christofle Plans for Three New Boutiques in 2009

NY, NY – In 2009, the foremost leader in fine silver craft, Christofle Silver, Inc, finds itself preparing to make its mark in three of the biggest, trendiest, most cosmopolitan cities in the U.S. The nearly 200-year-old company is set to take 2009 by storm with plans for new stores in Boston, Atlanta, and Las Vegas, its first openings since 2000.

The North American subsidiary of Christofle has already broken ground for the first store in Boston, MA. Located at the exclusive Heritage On The Garden at 296 Boylston St, the Christofle boutique sits at the epicenter of the city’s most sophisticated shopping district.

Later in the year, Christofle will open an Atlanta location at the Streets of Buckhead. An appropriate setting for trendsetters and luxury consumers, the shops and restaurants at Buckhead are a haven for celebrities, Forbes 400 business leaders, and the crème de la crème of high society. Lastly, a highly anticipated Las Vegas boutique will follow near the end of 2009. At present, Christofle is in the advanced stages of discussion as to the details of the new store.

Prior to the new store developments, Christofle initiated an intensive series of renovations for all of its locations in 2007. In the last two years, six U.S. Christofle stores have already undergone renovations, the latest being a 600 sq ft, newly renovated Chicago location that will feature brand-new, custom-made flooring, lighting, and fixtures.

The new boutiques and continued renovations speak to the company’s continued success. The anticipated openings also reflect Christofle’s enduring standing as a leader in luxury goods, as well as the brand’s dedication to elegance, style and sophistication.
