Intermarché had followed in the footsteps of the frozen food chain by offering to accumulate 10 euros in vouchers in its stores (from February 2 to 8) ... on condition of presenting a loyalty card.

The objective is therefore as much to give a boost as to retain new customers.

Last week, it was the E. Leclerc stores which promised the student basket "

An operation which should be deployed at the end of February.

Local operations were also observed.

These private initiatives support the system put in place by the government in these times of crisis, when students are struggling to find a job to make ends meet.

These establishments will also reopen their doors - only take-out was allowed until then - to break the isolation of students.
