flop – Before its final closure, the Fnac store on the Champs Elysées began clearing stock this Friday. Faced with too many customers, he had to close prematurely
Many of them came to sniff out a good deal, a few days after Christmas. Obviously too much. After announcing a clearance sale before its final closure scheduled for mid-January, the Fnac on the Champs Elysées, in Paris, was a victim of its success this Friday, January 3.
The store was in fact forced to close its doors just after opening, overwhelmed by the influx of curious people. Several thousand customers therefore put away their brakes this Friday, sometimes for several hours. The queue stretched for hundreds of meters, spilling onto Rue de la Boétie, adjacent to the avenue.
“It was an opportunity to give yourself one last Christmas present”
“I was behind the avenue, I couldn't see the entrance to the store because of the crowd,” says Martin, an 18-year-old student who came specially from Villiers-sur-Marne (Val-de-Marne). at 9:50 a.m. to try to buy a drone at a knockdown price. It was an opportunity to give ourselves one last Christmas present, but perhaps there is still hope.” Like him, a few dozen customers waited for a Christmas miracle until past noon. And this despite the signs indicating the closure of the store and the presence of law enforcement.
