A store chain is literally taking over my city

So maybe you've heard about a huge French multinational chain called Carrefour, which do mainly supermarkets and convenience/groceries stores.

In my area (but I think it's the same thing everywhere), a lot of shops (regardless if they were independent or part of a chain) are sadly becoming bank agencies, real estate agencies... or Carrefours.

I've made a video (it has English subtitles) about how in Toulouse, they're basically taking over the city (and it's a big city), the latter not really being able to do anything against it because of a weird law from the early 2010s.

Of course all of these are franchises.



But guess what ? They're pushing the thing so far that now there's a street, not even a very long one, that has FOUR of them (didn't translate this one to English (yet), but the images are self-explanatory) :


Ultimate irony is that I have to do my groceries at one of them because it's the only thing in my area

This but Poland and Żabka
Which is arguably even worse for the stores themselves but customers have little to complain about other than prices outside of getting multiples of a thing.
Speaking of Poland
Kerfuś.
I rest my case.
