Thursday, May 23, at 9:15 a.m., the first carts rush inside through the east entrance to the gallery. “It’s been years since I came here to do my shopping,” confides Monique. Like many customers, the retiree made the trip out of curiosity, “to see if there were any good deals,” she says delighted. “It makes you want to come more, it’s better stocked than before,” explains another customer who returns to his car with “two or three odds and ends.”
The parking lot quickly fills up, a young mother with a packed cart rejoices at this change. “I am used to going to Intermarché stores for questions about prices and products. I am delighted to no longer have to go to Saint-Évarzec.” Another customer living nearby is happy to return to old habits, having stopped shopping here in recent years for budget reasons. “The organization hasn’t changed too much either,” rejoices Sylvie, who still had her bearings in the old store.
The fish market arrives
“All that would be missing is a fishmonger,” suggests André. To which the store director, Benjamin Blat, responds: “On June 19, it will be ready! “. The major change, prepared during these three weeks of closure, is this large kiosk, still empty, in the middle of the store, where fresh fish will be sold.
Brand new self-service checkouts have been installed. However, 70% boxes retain the traditional format.
If this opening was able to take place without a hitch, it is undoubtedly thanks to the professionalism of the staff. The employees already know the place well since they kept their jobs despite the transfer of the brand.
