Thirty years after its inauguration, the Disney Store on the Champs-Élysées in Paris will definitely lower the curtain. This is the group’s last store still in operation in France, apart from those in the Disneyland Paris amusement park.
It’s official, the Disney Store on the Champs-Élysées, in Paris, will definitely close its doors. Information that has been confirmed by the LR mayor of the 8th arrondissement, Jeanne d’Hauteserre, to our colleagues on the site Actu.fr.
If no precise date has been communicated so far, the store would lower the curtain next May. The reason ? Too high rents on the most beautiful avenue in the world. Not to mention the Yellow Vests crisis and the pandemic, which have greatly weakened the sector.
The Disney group would like to develop online sales on its platform, and is now only relying on shops located within the famous amusement park in Marne-la-Vallée for physical sales. While the forty Disney Store employees fear for their jobs, Mickey fans only have a few days left to shop and find accessories and other costumes designed by the firm, which can only be found on the Champs-Élysées.
