One Direction Coffee Shop? Are the Boys Opening a Chain of Cafés?
Undeniable success in the music scene seems not enough for the boys - so they're planning to take over coffee shops starting next week, claims the Daily Star.
That's right! One Direction doesn't fear of Starbucks and other big name coffee shop chains as the Daily Star says that 1D is opening their very own brand of café as early as next Tuesday.
"The first one will open this month in Japan, where the group has been a huge hit. And if it is a success, pop bosses including mentor Simon Cowell, 54, hope to open more in major cities worldwide," reports the Daily Star.
An insider also told them that the 1D café will be "child friendly" in consideration of the boys' much younger fans. And the alleged 1D café will also be stocked up with the boy band's merchandise and accented with 1D memorabilia.
"This could become the lads' version of Planet Hollywood. That chain was backed by stars such as Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger when it launched in 1991," the Daily Star's insider added.
According to TVNZ, the sudden coffee shop venture comes after the boys' £611 million predicted earnings for their 'Where We Are' world tour. The tour will start off in Columbia on April 25 and will come to the US on August 4 at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
But Directioners shouldn't imagine 1D café's crafty menu just yet as Sugarscape reports that the whole One Direction brand of coffee shop chain shenanigan is indeed a hoax.
"We got in contact with One Direction's representatives, and they told us: 'This story is untrue. There are no plans to open 1D Coffee shops currently,'" says Sugarscape.
Nevertheless, a few fans who have caught up with the false reports could not hold down their excitement. Check out some fan tweets HERE.
