Ten days of work "maximum"

So in a few months, the change of brand will take place…hellip; after a closure for works of around ten days "maximum". And the current team of around fifteen employees will be increased to twenty, so that all these beautiful people will be operational for this summer. Jean-François Hugues wants to be reassuring: "When we open an Intersport, we want to be ready. But it already has our products inside."
