This is a brand new business that has opened near La Réole (Gironde). Since Tuesday November 5, 2024, Sylvie and Laurent have opened their TOP Discount store, avenue François-Mitterrand near Netto.

They focus on the quality of their products

To continue to make the brand, which is celebrating its 16th anniversary, prosper, Sylvie and Laurent are banking on the quality of their products.

Starting with their DIY tools section. “We couldn't do it in Latresne given the competition, now we'll finally be able to get started,” explains the owner. There are also household appliances, sofas and furniture.

An economical choice

“It’s more of a store,” exclaims the shopkeeper who ran the store in Latresne with her husband until last September. The newly married couple felt a need for change. After seeing the advertisement for the premises in La Réole, they took the plunge. The price of rent played a role in their decision.

In Latresne, this duo who spent their entire professional career in discounters paid 2,800 euros per month, which is only 1,200 euros in their brand new store.

They also save on fuel, the couple having lived in Frontenac for six years.

“It’s not negligible, we can breathe a little more” explains Sylvie, rather relieved by this move.

Proximity, the key word of their success

In sixteen years, these two residents of Frontenac have had to face several difficult economic periods, notably during the Covid-19 crisis.

Their secret to success? Proximity to their customers. A proven method in Latresne. The proof: several loyal customers of the old store did not hesitate to travel miles to find the couple. “Most of them became friends over time. It’s a bit like our secret to standing out against the competition. » Sylvie and Laurent are waiting for you for this new adventure.

The store is open continuously from Tuesday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
