On May 31,
Falabella
formally announced, through a publication on the web and on its multiple online platforms, that it was saying goodbye to the country and that they would no longer have the shopping service available.
In this way, they continued with the delivery of the orders that had yet to be delivered and
closed their doors forever.
However, the Chilean firm reached an agreement to finish offering the latest products in stock in our country.
The promotions and sales that led to the collapse of the Unicenter shopping lines in April, have now been installed in two well-known stores in the northern area of the GBA.
Last week
Sodimac
, a franchise that belongs to the same owners as Falabella, redesigned the stores it has in
Vicente López
and
San Martín
to set up an exclusive sector with the products left over from the store at the time of closing.
The Vicente López store set up two specialized sectors for the sale of Falabella where decoration items, household appliances and furniture stand out mainly
Sodimac, which sells items for
construction
and the home, was in charge of dividing the stock according to different categories and distributing them in the two stores to take better advantage of the distribution spaces.
While the San Martín store exclusively sells
clothing, footwear and accessories
, in
Vicente López
the
decorative
items stand out
, such as pillows, sheets, different tableware and kitchen sets and
electrical appliances
.
"These are the products that were left in the storage and they came to us to display them in the premises.
We had to dismantle various sectors of Sodimac to make room for everything that was arriving,
" explained a manager of the Vicente López store.
"We opened the holiday on Monday 21 and
that day the movement was terrible.
We knew that people received the news with the information through emails because many were members of the Falabella card," explained an employee.
From decoration products to Christmas decorations that have remained in Falabella's stock and are now on sale to the public.
In the business located on Avenida Libertador,
discounts to 50% are the protagonists
par excellence.
From dishes on site to jugs of water with cooler included that offer that striking promotion for the public that enters the premises.
The same thing happens with the appliance room, where through red signs titled "even lower" they show that the
television
that previously cost $ 45,000,
today is selling for $ 39,900
or that a filter coffee maker is less than half the price. its old price.
Although there are very few items that have the price sticker, the sector has several computers so that customers can make sure what value each product is at and what discounts are applied.

Among Christmas decorations and unopened Falabella boxes, you can see
decoration pictures for $ 500
, boxes and table decorations between $ 780 and $ 990,
cushions for $ 1800
and a set of sheets with different prints between $ 8,800 and $ 9,100.
"A friend told me what Sodimac had put together and
I'm trying to come every other day to see if they add new things. Although I found and bought a lot, I notice that prices are going up
and everything is already somewhat out of place," said Liliana, a neighbor from
Florida
.
And he added: "I always try to come at noon to avoid that many people accumulate but, my friend told me that on the weekend
He went to the San Martín and was making more than
a block of queue to enter "
.
Several posters informing the public of a 50% discount on decoration products and household items.
A customer from the Núñez area who carried a green Falabella bag in her right hand told
Clarín
that it hurt her when the store left the country.
"I found out through an email that they were doing this.
I came because I always liked Falabella and I was very sad when I found out that he was leaving."
In the case of Vicente López's store, the income is divided for those who buy directly in Falabella or continue to Sodimac.
At the entrance, there is a security staff who takes the temperature and carries out all the sanitary protocols.

On the other hand, the area that the store prepared for Falabella is divided with wooden panels to avoid the crowding of people between both sectors and that customers do not cross in the aisles of the premises.
Currently, as the manager assured
Clarín
, they are waiting for new merchandise
to make the most of sales
and attract new customers.
