The monthly recap September

But September, as we both mentioned, was an incredibly big month in terms of activities, of launches, launches of obviously products, but also new concepts, new brand, new flagships as well.

For some, a lot of trade shows.

So let's just have a little quick review.

I don't know if you've noticed, but Yeah, Deleuze was launching his gravy concept, the street food concept that they launched in Luxembourg.

They're going to do it also in Belgium.

A few stores have been selected to do that.

So we're going to follow the opening of the next one soon.

I cannot tell you where, but it's definitely going to be happening within the frontiers of Belgium.

Let me put it this way.

This way, I'm not breaking any embargo.

Of course, I wouldn't do that to you guys of Deleuze who are listening.

So next to the gravy concept, I also noted, yeah, of course, Shopiz.

Carrefour was launching this new flagship with the collaboration of Trendy Foods.

Also a good analysis that I put on the website.

And to me, the good news of this month was also the fact that Cora is in Bon Jovi mode.

Bon Jovi mode.

They're halfway there, but they're not living on a prayer.

They are

actually still on schedule for their huge retail transformation because they were transforming all the locations of the former Cora hypermarkets.

And so now those galleries really become galleries, really become shopping centers.

And they decided to... for the halfway time of the entire transformation project, organize some opening weekends in all of those locations where they could actually show the entire concept.

I also went to see the concept and had a little chat with Bram Thomas, the CEO, who gave me the tour, showed me that basically the idea is to have a lot of brands, a lot of variety, a lot of things that a family can find, affordable, obviously, but also a place where you can just hang out and do a little tour and not just like one simple gallery, but a gallery where you can really just make a tour and enjoy yourself for the day as a family.

So that's quite an interesting concept.

Also, a lot of pictures are available on the post that I've made at the time.
