Buying without knowing, discovering when you open it: the principle of lost parcels turns every purchase into a treasure hunt. For several months now, this concept has been a hit all over France. You choose a sealed parcel, pay by weight or per item, and discover its contents once you’re home. With a mix of curiosity, excitement, and hope for a big win, the experience attracts both bargain hunters and thrill-seekers.
For one week, the parcel craze takes over the largest shopping center in Lyon. From Monday, March 2 to Saturday, March 7, King Colis will set up its pop-up store at Westfield La Part-Dieu, in the central square. The goal: to attract the curious, the gamers... and everyone dreaming of finding that rare gem without breaking the bank.
Ten tons of mystery to discover
The store promises an unprecedented volume and an immersive experience worthy of a life-sized game. In Lyon, nearly 10 tons of certified packages from the biggest European e-commerce sites are waiting for new owners. Here, shopping becomes a challenge: your best allies to find THAT perfect surprise will be flair, intuition, and a bit of luck.
Behind every box could be a treasure… or a totally unexpected item. High-tech, fashion, beauty, home, gaming, or quirky gadgets: anything is possible. Previous sales have already revealed spectacular surprises, with highly sought-after collectible cards or even miniature gold bars. You can say that the hope of hitting the jackpot looms large with every package opening.
Halfway between a modern garage sale and a shopping casino, the concept hits the mark. In an age where everything online is predictable, these sales reintroduce the joy of the unknown. In Lyon, there's no doubt the lines are bound to get longer.
