PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social 3 weeks agoI wasn’t even aware that stores like Müller, Rossmann or DM aren’t existing in France
There is Yves Rocher, but they only sell products from Yves Rocher (and AFAIK, that’s exclusively for women), and l’Occitane - who also just sell their own stuff.
I think there would be a market for something like DM, but contrary to Lidl and Aldi, they don’t seem to have crossed the border yet

Actually not only for women, they have a small pour homme section … But IMHO, Yves Rocher is not as eco-friendly as they try to market themself as. They often use cheap ingredients like dimethicone and propylene glycol, their peelings also used to contain microplastics (I know since their presence in Germany is huge too and my mom used to be a fan, until we found out about their questionable ingredients).
DM has stated clearly in a message that they don’t consider expanding to the french market as they fear it’d be too risky financially. At least that’s what I found out in my quick research of german-speaking resources. Weird, since Aldi & Lidl are doing pretty well in FRA and I’d definitely see a market for them there.
