Tiffany & Co. Designs its Flagship Store for the Champs Elysees

Tiffany & Co.  plans to open a  European flagship store in Paris in 2014. The approximately  10,000-square-foot,  multi-level store will be located at 62 Avenue des Champs Elysées.
Frederic Cumenal, the executive vice president of Tiffany & Co., said, “This is a significant development and sales opportunity for Tiffany & Co. While we have been successful in operating three smaller stores in Paris, establishing this store on the Champs Elysées will be the ultimate symbol of Tiffany as a truly global luxury brand.”
The store's expected opening on the Champs Elysées will mark a new milestone in Tiffany’s connection with Paris, which began in 1850 when the company established its first store. At the Paris World’s Fair in 1867, Tiffany & Co. became the first U.S.  firm to win an award for the excellence of its silverware. In 1999, Tiffany returned to Paris with a store on rue de la Paix.
Tiffany & Co. operates jewelry stores and manufactures products through its subsidiary corporations and is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year.
