The results of the winter sales are not good. In the Alpes-Maritimes, store attendance has decreased by 60% compared to last year.
According to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Alpes-Maritimes, this drop in attendance is due to the competition from the Internet with its private sales and constant promotions.
This decrease does not affect the Grasse area, which seems to have been the only one spared.
As a reminder, the 26,000 businesses in the department represent one-third of the department’s wealth.
