Store number 1 500 of the leading European specialist trade chain Fressnapf will be opening in October in France according to enquiries by the specialist journal pet.France is now the strongest foreign market for the Fressnapf group. Maxi Zoo France was able to increase its sales last year by 13.1 per cent to 130 mio euros and is also showing above-average growth this year too. The company started up 16 new stores across the country in the months from June to August alone. So it would make sense to open store number 1 500 especially in France.In September and October there will be a campaign under the motto "1 500 Fressnapf stores in Europe. Celebrate and save with us," in which discounts will be given on many articles in the range consisting of 13 000 articles. The campaign surrounding the 1 500th store will also be rounded off with a major customer competition. In each country, various valuable prizes can be won, such as a family holiday to France or a holiday trip where dogs are welcome.
