The storefront additionally serves sweets such as ice cream sandwiches, cold brew floats and affogato, an Italian dessert consisting of gelato topped with espresso.
Pick'em Up Joe Coffee Co. is open at both of its locations Mondays through Saturdays from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., according to its website.

Italy fines Chinese retailer Shein $1M for 'deceptive' practices
Italy on Monday fined Shein more than $1 million for deceptive practices. File Photo by David Silpa/UPI | License Photo Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Italian authorities on Monday announced Chinese global retailer Shein was fined over $1 million for allegedly "misleading" customers with "deceptive" advertising. The The Italian Competition Authority issued the fine of more than $1.1 million, to Infinite Styles Services Co. Limited, which is Shein's Dublin-based European manager. Italian officials accused the company of "misleading and/or deceptive environmental messages and claims." Shein claimed a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by some 25% by 2030, with a 2050 goal to reach net zero. The AGCM saidShein's proposal was "vague" and "generic." It further stated it was "even contradicted by an actual increase in Shein's greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 and 2024." The fashion online retailer sees an average of over 45 million monthly users just in Europe, according to EU officials. Last year in April, the Chinese-owned fashion app was forced to follow new but stricter rules under the European Commission's Digital Services Act after officials determined Shein was large enough to fall under the legislation. Italy is now the second European country in a little over a month to fine the company after France in July issued a $46 million penalty after its 11-month investigation. "Through its website and other promotional and/or informational online pages," Italy's AGCM said Monday, "the company disseminated environmental claims within the sections #SHEINTHEKNOW, evoluSHEIN, and Social Responsibility that were, in some instances, vague, generic." It added it was "and/or overly emphatic, and in others, misleading or omissive." The China-based company similar to Temu does not publicly disclose its earnings. However, a source told Bloomberg that in its first quarter that Shein's net income went up to over $400 million while revenue was at around $10 billion. It's said the higher profit margin was related to customers using to get ahead of new U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.

Credit Agricole raises Banco BPM stake to 20.1% with derivatives
MILAN (Reuters) -French bank Credit Agricole has acquired a further 0.3% of Banco BPM via derivatives, raising its stake in Italy's third-biggest bank to 20.1%, a regulatory filing showed on Monday. The stake increase comes after Italy's UniCredit last month dropped its takeover bid for BPM after running into government opposition and failing to persuade Credit Agricole to tender its stake in BPM under the offer. Credit Agricole, a long-standing commercial partner of BPM, emerged as its single biggest shareholder in early 2022, after an earlier aborted takeover plan by UniCredit. Credit Agricole doubled its stake in December after UniCredit bid for BPM. UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel, a veteran investment banker, said he could not afford to let his bank be sidelined in a round of consolidation sweeping Italian banking. Echoing comments made when it first said it would raise its BPM stake just above 20%, Credit Agricole said on Monday it would not seek to acquire control of BPM and would keep its stake under a mandatory takeover threshold. The threshold in BPM's case stands at 25% and sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters last week that Credit Agricole planned to eventually get to just below 25%. Credit Agricole also said it would not seek changes to BPM's board of directors. After securing European Central Bank authorisation to cross the 10% ownership threshold in BPM, which allowed it to increase its initial stake, Credit Agricole is now awaiting ECB approval to go above 20%. It would then be able to convert the derivative contracts into shares. It has said it then intends to book the BPM stake under an accounting method reserved for significant shareholders, which allows investors to more closely benefit from the performance of the company they have invested in.

The Luxury Labor Crackdown: Armani Fined $4 Million USD For Greenwashing
As Milan Fashion Week SS26 approaches, Armani will mark a major milestone, celebrating its 50th anniversary, but controversy continues to brew over its labor and manufacturing practices. The Armani Group, owner ofGiorgio ArmaniandEmporio Armani, has been fined $4 million USD (3.5 million euros) by Italy's antitrust regulator, just months after a year-long court administration of the company for unethical business operations was finally lifted. According toReuters, the filing states that the Giorgio Armani group and one of its subsidiaries 'issued misleading ethical and social responsibility statements in contrast with the actual working conditions found at suppliers and subcontractors.' However, the company has denied the claims and plans to appeal the decision. Despite Armani's messaging on sustainability, the regulator revealed that the company outsources most of its leather goods production to third-party entities, which have violated health and safety regulations and employed workers illegally. The concerns arose in the Summer of 2024, when the court placed the group under oversight for 12 months, a measure that was lifted in February 2025. In a response, Giorgio Armani shared its 'disappointment and bitterness,' saying that it has 'always operated with the utmost fairness and transparency towards consumers, the market, and stakeholders, as demonstrated by the Group's history.' Italian regulators have placed increasing pressure on luxury labels boasting the 'Made in Italy' tag to uphold humane, environmentally responsible, and most of all, legal practices. In recent years, other brands, includingValentino,Dior, andLoro Pianahave been at the center of similar controversies, also being placed in court administration for similar violations. Ultra-luxury LVMH brand Loro Piana was the most recent to receive the regulatory measure. In July, anincidentinvolving the brutal beating of a worker who demanded unpaid wages from a subcontracted workshop surfaced. The incident, which happened at a subcontracted jacket workshop Northwest of Milan, led to the arrest of the facility's Chinese owner and its immediate by the local police department. According toBusiness of Fashion, the Carabinieri police found that the facility, which produced Loro Piana cashmere garments, employed 10 Chinese migrant workers, 5 of whom were undocumented. Forced to work as much as 90 hours a week, all 7 days, the laborers were only paid €4 an hour, and housed in illegal dwellings inside the factory. Such cases have shed light on the reality of 'greenwashing,' a term used to describe misleading social and environmental sustainability claims by brands, especially apparel manufacturers. In an almost unanimous vote in June 2025, France's senate has passed a new bill targeting 'ultra' fast fashion companies in aim of reducing the environmental impact of the textile industry. However, while France targets Chinese fast-fashion labels likeTemu and Shein, introducing a new regulatory bill and major fines, Italy sets its sights on the domestic luxury market. The shift in tone has upended both the connotations behind the 'Made in Italy' tag, challenging the country's status as a hub of authentic craftsmanship and luxury over the decades. Stay tuned to Hypebeast for the latest fashion industry insights.
