The German speciality pet chain Fressnapf has opened its first new store to operate the Maxi-Zoo concept that was developed in house in Reims. All the other Maxi-Zoo stores opened so far in France are former City-Zoo stores that have been converted to the Fressnapf concept. The new store covers approx. 700 m2 and has no live animals. Another Maxi-Zoo store is likely to open in France at the start of December, in Chambéry, between Geneva and Grenoble.
