• On October 7, the site of the Strasbourg station market will host a gourmet market open to all individuals.

  • This installation will make it possible to put an end to the sale to individuals in the part of the market normally reserved for traders and restaurateurs.

Located on the site of the MIN (National Interest Market) in Strasbourg, one of the 24 wholesale markets in France and a kind of Alsatian-style Rungis near Ikea, this new place will above all meet a demand from the inhabitants. of the Strasbourg conurbation.

Even if we knew very well that they did not benefit from the same prices as the professionals… But over the years it had become a habit for many.

We still remember the long queues of cars before daybreak, especially during the holiday season, people who came to do bargains...

So much so that the former municipal team had to stop this not really authorized practice, also at the request of wholesalers who wanted to remove this ambiguity.

“It was on their initiative that this project was born, explains Laurent Auguste, managing director of the Géraud group, who designed, built and financed the building.

Things will now be clear, the station market is reserved for professionals.

In recent years, in fact, only a few wholesalers still sold a few products to locals who showed up, but the heart was gone.
