La Cigale et la Fourmi
In Barneville-Carteret, Isabelle Pignol has transformed the family hardware store into a veritable treasure trove. In 1966, when it belonged to her parents, “they sold everything from appliances to screws by weight,” she says. Thirty years later, Isabelle left her career as a pharmaceutical sales rep and came home. She modernized the store, removing the hardware that had become available in supermarkets, and investing in dishware, décor, and gifts. The store quickly earned the nickname Aladdin’s Cave. “I have more than 100 suppliers. My team and I follow the trends, and our intuition.” The competition of the internet doesn’t scare them: “Today, people want everything, and they want it now. Thanks to our stock, we can give it to them. And our gift wrap is one of a kind!” With a constant renewal of products, you won’t leave empty-handed!
