Another store that had a successful Olympics conversion was Keir Fine Jewellery. Owners Dave and Catherine Campbell collaborated with Victorinox Swiss Army Inc. , a company whose merchandise they carry, to turn the shop over as a "popup" store for Victorinox during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Hes one of my best friends (he actually lives at my place in Orange County during the summer), and we chatted for 10 minutes in the cafeteria.
