English term or phrase: outpost
Bonsoir,

Je n'arrive pas à adopter la définition commune de "outpost" dans ce passage : "The Berlin branch of Sneakersnstuff may have a club in the basement, but London’s outpost of the Scandinavian shoe store is a happy hunting ground for footwear fans."


La succursale de Sneakersnstuff à Berlin peut se targuer de posséder une discothèque dans son sous-sol, mais c'est sans compter sur le QG de la boutique de chaussures scandinave de Londres, véritable terrain de chasse pour les fans de chaussures.

Merci :)

neutral  Daryo: Technically correct, but "outpost" implies also an element of "far from the centre" / "on the periphery" i.e. the shop is in London, the HQ in Sweden, the other end of Europe.

annexe


Explanation:
Suggestion

Outpost =
1 A small military camp or position at some distance from the main army, used especially as a guard against surprise attack.
2A remote part of a country or empire.
2.1 An isolated or remote branch of something.


Je pense dans ce contexte qu'il s'agit tout simplement d'un synonyme pour 'branch'.
