A breath of fresh air is blowing through the Compans-Caffarelli shopping center in Toulouse. The famous furniture store Habitat closed its doors in December. And according to rumors, a Action store could be taking its place.

After the bankruptcy of Habitat Design International and its French subsidiary Habitat France at the end of December, the whole team had to say goodbye to their jobs. The ten employees of the Toulouse store, now in the dark, were laid off with support under a professional security contract. But beyond the personal implications, the entire commercial landscape of Compans could be transformed. ### **Action replacing Habitat in downtown Toulouse?** So, what will become of this space in the heart of one of the busiest shopping centers in the Pink City? According to information reported by La Dépêche, it could be the famous hard-discounter Action. With stores already established in Borderouge, Purpan, and the outskirts of Toulouse, Action's arrival in the center would be a real game-changer.

Chosen as the favorite store by the French in 2023, Action continues to gain ground every year in the French discount market. In 2023, the Dutch retailer opened over 300 stores worldwide and saw its revenue soar by nearly 28% according to BFMTV. There are now 800 stores in France, making the country the chain's largest market.

No official announcement yet

For now, neither Action nor Altarea Commerce, the owner of the center, have confirmed this information. But bargain hunters are already on the lookout, ready to welcome a new shopping destination. If the arrival of Action is confirmed, it could revitalize the attractiveness of this area of the shopping center.

Is there anyone who has never taken a stroll through the aisles of Action? Let them cast the first stone! True to their name, these stores are like Aladdin's caves, filled with all kinds of items at unbeatable prices. Every time, the equation remains the same: you can find nearly 6000 products on the shelves, including 1,500 "favorites" for less than 1 euro, ranging from simple toothbrushes to garden furniture, as well as cans of soda for 50 cents per liter. From decor, toys, school supplies, clothing, DIY, cleaning and hygiene products, to food... They have it all!
