Laëtitia recently moved to Normandy with her family. This new adventure - and the arrival of the Covid - pushed her to start a professional reconversion: the opening of a bulk food truck. Since September, Laëtitia has been offering bulk food, hygiene and cleaning products on the markets of Calvados. She has launched her collection to finishfitting out and flocking her truck.

Sophie recently opened L'épicerie du BIO'nheur, her bulk grocery shop in the centre of Marmande, after more than 20 years in the agricultural sector. An entrepreneur by nature, she was first a cattle and goat farmer and then an organic market gardener, before embarking on a new project. She launched her collection to finance the equipment necessary for the proper functioning of the grocery shop.

At the age of 23, Juliette and Pierre decided to create their own business in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie: a bulk, organic and local grocery shop. It is the first grocery shop of this type to be opened in the town and Juliette and Pierre are keen to offer the inhabitants an alternative way of consuming food, cosmetics and hygiene products. The fundraising helped them to finance the equipment for the future shop.

We were live last week to discuss the following issue "Liquid Bulk: How to optimize your customer journey?"
Priscillia Soudani, sales force manager at Jean Bouteille, and Noemie Hernot, co-founder of Mademoiselle Vrac, shared their experience and gave many tips to guide participants in their choices for their bulk liquid departments.
Thank you to the 50 participants for your enthusiasm, your questions and the exciting exchange we had together!
Finally, a big congratulations to all participants! If you missed the call for projects and if you are motivated to undertake your own project, it is still possible to launch a campaign on MiiMOSA or to wait for the next edition in May. Our Jean Bouteille advisors remain in any case available all year long to exchange and help you on the bulk liquid issues. 😊
