What solutions for traders, put in great difficulty by the covid-19 crisis? In Côte-d’Or, the prefecture decided on Thursday, December 31, 2020 to authorize the opening of all shops on Sunday, for the five weekends of January 2021. This authorization extends what had already been done in the month of December 2020. With a novelty: hairdressers now have the right to open as well.
Yes, if all the traders get started
What reactions to this announcement among traders in downtown Dijon? First of all, we’re not going to lie to each other, not everyone is aware when we ask them the question. Sitting at the reception desk of her stationery “La Burgonde”, near the Museum of Fine Arts, Nathalie Jacquey, for her part, sees this possibility of opening a good eye … on one condition: that all traders “play the game”. “The problem is that if there are only three or four to open, we are not going to make the city center attractive”, she regrets. According to her, if not all shops are open, customers will prefer to go to large malls., where they’ll be sure to find the curtain up.
“Not in the habit”
In addition to retail businesses, hairdressers now have the right to open on Sundays. Not a bad idea in absolute terms for Samuel Mangin, owner of the eponymous hair salon Place du Théâtre, even if he decided not to open. The reason ? “Habits, quite simply”.“Would you like to go to the hairdresser on Sundays yourself ?, he asks. Me, I do not think to open on Sunday, after each one sees in relation to its customers “.
If we turn the week well, it will already be good
