Some customers have had to advance their wake-up time.

Before going to work, they stopped at the OBD Grand Paris warehouse, located in the Le Val de Morangis industrial zone (Essonne).

The company, specializing in the distribution of drinks for cafes, hotels and restaurants in Ile-de-France, organized a destocking operation this Friday from 8 am.

Large bottles of wine at a low price

In the imposing 3000 square meter hangar, customers wander around pulling their trolleys.

Quickly, soda bottles sold in packs of 12 rubbed shoulders with beer packs and wine cartons.

“We came early to do some good business.

This is an opportunity to be seized, especially since we have room to store it, confide Cyril and Carole, members of the Quarks de Villebon-Longjumeau American football club.

We do not intend to rob the store, but we hope to discover new products.

For Pascale and Patricia, it was “the outing of the day”.

So they had fun.

Between sodas, beers and wine, they leave with several full carts.

“I got it for 89 euros.

In supermarkets, it would have cost me 130 euros, compares Pascale, grabbing a very large bottle of wine.

This one, I know him well, he is really very good and does not hurt the head.

I took another to try.

At 10 euros, I couldn't be a loser.

"

Some customers a little disappointed

Her sidekick is also delighted.

“With the difficult times we live in, it's great to be able to save some money.

In addition, since I have been teleworking, I consume a lot more fruit juice, Patricia noted.

In this department, it is really worth it.

“On average, count 5 euros less than in supermarkets.

In other departments, sodas or whiskeys for example, it's a bit of a grimace soup.

Cell phones in hand, some customers compare prices and remain skeptical.

“We expected a huge difference.

There, it's equivalent, even a little more expensive, ”notes Marc, disappointed.

Pascal Clément, General Manager of OBD Grand Paris confirms: “On certain products, supermarkets manage to obtain better prices.

Afterwards, we offer bottle formats that are not marketed.

And there are some real bargains with wine.

6000 bottles sold in one day

It is not the manager of the restaurant L'Isle Saint-Michel, based in Saint-Michel-sur-Orge, who will say the opposite.

The latter immediately left with complete pallets, one of which consisted of 60 boxes of wine.

“Thanks to an agreement signed with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) of Essonne, we can host public building employees for lunch,” he explains.

We therefore need to replenish our stock, because deliveries are much rarer than before.

And OBD needs to top up its coffers.

In the end, we are all winners.
