Affine welcomes Fnac to its Colbert shopping centre in Nevers
Affine announces the opening of a Fnac store covering 850 sqm of floor area, providing 625 sqm of retail space, at its Colbert shopping complex located in the city centre of Nevers.
The international retailer of entertainment and leisure products and consumer electronics has chosen this location to open a store in its new retail format. Customers will find all the product and service categories offered by Fnac stores: books, CDs, DVDs, gaming, IT products, mobile phones, audio, photo, stationery and cards. It will also offer its customers ticketing services, gift cards and gift boxes.
The multichannel strategy deployed by the brand will provide future customers of the Nevers Fnac with access to the 11 million products available online at Fnac.com. Products purchased online can be picked up from their local Fnac store or delivered to their home address.
The arrival of Fnac is a major milestone in the site's development since it enhances the attractiveness of the shopping complex set up around a 5,500 sqm Carrefour Market superstore, a 1,300 sqm H&M store, and about
15 other shops. The opening, scheduled for 5 November 2015, will take place at the same time as the openings of ready-to-wear stores DDP and French ADN (Mado & les autres, Fred Sabatier, Päuse-Café, Evalinka & Voodoo
brands), and will significantly boost the shopping centre's occupancy rate, which will reach 75% before the end of the year.
