Virgin Records Megastore in-house café invites IzzyCue into their pastry / baked goods mix.

GRAPEVINE, TX., Dec. / 18 / 2003 (PRWEB) December 14, 2003 -- IzzyCue, the venerable lifestyle brand, begins supplying its Café Division Premium Baked Goods pastry products to the in-house café (CocoMoka Café) at the Virgin Megastore in Grapevine, Texas. Seattles Best Coffee will be served alongside the pastry mix offered.

In addition, Virgin Megastores set the precedent for stores of the future last week when we unveiled a new lifestyle store concept at the San Francisco Megastore (12/3). An incredible lineup of national and local acts and their very own chairman Sir Richard Branson came to see the store and to help celebrate. Sir Richard, dressed in a Virgin red robe, made a three-hour stopover in San Francisco on his way from London to Australia just to come check it out.

Hundreds of people came to view the new look and to watch entertainment from San Francisco-based international DJ Mark Farina, electro pop outfit Mosquitos, Belly Dance All-Stars, Tonex, The Glide (Memorial Church) Ensemble, who belted out a rousing gospel number, and the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus. The festivities kicked off at 4pm and went way into the evening where later on a brand new Triumph motorcycle was raffled.
The overall event was emceed by a trio of comedic preachers, San Francisco's very own Meehan Brothers. If that wasn't enough, to showcase the store's new sections, the San Francisco Institute offered spa services on the third floor (Mind, Body, & Spirit), Sharp 3D offered gaming demos on the second floor, and Will Wright, The Sims creator, signed games in the Games section. B-boys and a Popper showed off a few moves in the Dance/Hip Hop department on the second floor throughout the evening. But of course, it was all about the revival of the store, and throughout the day all the new features were showcased from the vending machine (where you can get new releases at 12:01am on new release day) and plasma viewing screens, to Virgin Megaplay Kiosks and hand-held listening devices, to Ben Sherman clothing ... and the list went on.

We are in seventh heaven with Virgins choice of IzzyCue for their pastry baked goods, for their lifestyle-driven Megastores," Kenneth H. Tan IzzyCue founder and CEO comments.
