His “farewell” message on social networks triggered an avalanche of little words, each more touching than the other, each more comforting than the other. It warmed the heart of Pauline Abélard, 36, but it did not change her decision to close up shop. A decision that she had been putting off for several weeks but that she finally made so as not to jeopardize my business and not to lose my physical and mental health.
Created in March 2016 by the Maugeoise Pauline Abélard and the Saumuroise Pauline Duperray – the 2 Paulines – the shop which had become a convenience store in the city center will therefore serve its last customers on September 22. All products are on sale here. I would have liked so much to continue the adventure. I imagined myself still being a shopkeeper for years, says Pauline Abélard, the only boss of the place for six years.
Circumstances decided otherwise. After experiencing a meteoric rise until 2020, the pioneering organic, bulk and local grocery store suffered the full brunt of post-covid, inflation, relative disaffection with organic and fierce competition. When the two Paulines settled at the corner of rue Saint-Julien and rue Saint-Martin, the three Biocoop shops in the city center did not exist, nor did the national brand Day by Day, for example. . It’s a whole set and it’s a sad end, says Pauline Abélard again. The trader will resume training.
echoes of trade
Catimini, it’s over. Located on rue Saint-Aubin, the Catimini children’s clothing brand will close its doors for good on September 22. The logical and unfortunate result of the takeover of the brand by the IDKIDS group, which last month announced its plan to close 44 stores in France.
Tezenis at Espace Anjou. The lingerie and interior clothing brand for women, men and children belonging to the Calzedonia group has opened its first store in Angers, in the Espace Anjou gallery.
Cozna at Les Halles. Savoyard caterer, Cozna will open its stand on Tuesday, September 5 in the Halles Cœur de Maine. It will thus join the Asian, Italian, Iberian and Lebanese offers.
