Interestingly, the Gloria Jeans coffee shop has absolutely nothing to do with the Gloria Jeans stores in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus. The coffee shop is American and has been around since 1979, named after its founder Gloria Jean Kvetko. So, jeans have nothing to do with it. Meanwhile, the Gloria Jeans company traces its history back to the Gloria cooperative, founded in 1988, and yes, they make jeans—and quite impressively, they produce a lot of them in their own factories, not in China. The story about them was about how the owner, Vladimir Melnikov, decided to pay one million rubles to all employees who had worked in the company for over 10 years.
