Affine inaugurates the new Carré Colbert in Nevers
The new Carré Colbert, developed by Affine in Nevers city centre, is to be inaugurated on 4 November in the presence of Mr Denis Thuriot, Mayor of Nevers. This inauguration sets a new departure for the site, under its new name, with a redesigned signage and layout, and comes with the arrival to the site of three new major brands: FNAC, DDP and French ADN, on an area covering close to 1,300 sqm.
Opposite the Nièvre prefecture and on the edge of the historical pedestrian zone, the retail site in the former Espace Colbert has become gradually since its opening in 2010 a major feature in Nevers' commercial landscape. It includes a Carrefour Market covering 5,500 sqm, a 1,300 sqm H&M and some fifteen other stores, in addition to a large car park and easy access from the rest of the area. With these new openings, the shopping centre's occupancy rate will increase to over 85% by the end of the year.
FNAC is opening its new store in Nevers in its new format, occupying 850 sqm, 625 sqm of which is devoted to the sales floor. Here, customers will find the international brand's full range of products and services, with access to the 11 million products available on fnac.com which they can have delivered to the store.
With a network of 135 stores in the regions, the womenswear brand DDP is offering its full range of women's clothing, leather goods and accessories over an area of 212 sqm, making it the brand's largest premise in France.
French ADN, a new multi-brand concept for women apparels, is arranged over 229 sqm around several 'corners' or sales spaces dedicated to five partner brands: Mado & les autres, Fred Sabatier, Pause-Café, Evalinka, Voodoo, which also have a strong presence in many other French cities.
Carré Colbert will complete its range of outlets over the coming months in various sectors (such as health, hygiene and beauty, restaurants and other services), boosting its status as a major retail hub in Nevers city centre.
