” I do not know “. Asked this Saturday at the end of the day, Jean-Paul Magueur, director of the Phare de l’Europe shopping gallery, was unable to tell us if he could open the doors of the establishment on Monday. “I am awaiting publication in the Official Journal, a priori this night. Because for the moment, nothing is clear: what is the surface taken into account? Do we include the hypermarket? The traffic lanes? Are we talking about gross area or sales area? “.
A priori, the Phare de l’Europe gallery, with its 27,000 m² surface area, is affected by the ban on opening. But this Saturday, its director could not announce it with certainty. “Fortunately, we had not planned to open this Sunday …”, quipped Jean-Paul Magueur.
In Brest, the Iroise shopping center, on the other side of the city, where the gallery is over 11,000 m² and the hyper 9,000, should escape closure. And, while the government measure is mocked by some commentators such as “the confinement of Ikea and Leroy Merlin”, these two brands have around 17,000 m² of surface area, just like Decathlon. The Coat-ar-Guéven and Jaurès shopping centers are not affected by the measure either.
