The idea of the opening of Angers down town stores looks to butt against the opinion of the president of the Angers Loire Metropole authority, according to the reports of several local medias. The last reason he points out has to do with the level of life of Angers inhabitants : their purchasing power. According to some recent statements of Mr Antonini, his opinion is shared by many other persons, there is not interest for store owners to open on the last Sundays of the year because local custumers will not buy more.
This is not sure. If it was the case, why are the mobile wooden hut st up on Ralliement square as well as nerby streets opened? If it was the case, why will the giant whhel recently set up on the Alsace Lorraine square be opened on Sundays? If there is no purchasing power on Sundays, why are others merry-go-round authorized to work on Sundays. It would be therefore consistent even to limit a little bit more the schedules for opening because such a shrinking could increase the purchasing power. Will the store onwers have to rent wooden huts too?
Another argument of the Alm president used to probihibit the opening on Sundays is that day must be dedicated to rest and family life. So, why are the Angers restaurants opened on Sundays? If the family life needs to be protected for someone, it deserves to be protected for everyone. Mr Antonini's stance was maybe justified when the country had growth. But is it appropriate now?
