The holiday season, a watershed moment for producers

In Bordeaux, the end-of-year celebrations are an important moment for the business of local producers. Indeed, the region is renowned for the quality of its products, and the local dimension. For example, foie gras is an emblematic holiday dish, a product of refined quality. Thus, marketplaces like epicery are born, determined to accompany the homes in the preparation of their Christmas table. Thus, epicery allows its customers to discover local artisans and facilitate their daily purchases. In the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis, many households do not have time to prepare for their Christmas shopping. This fully digitalized marketplace allows them to make their holiday menu online. Saving time, and discovering new producers… The benefits of epicery are manifold.

This gives customers more freedom, and develops the business of local shops. Delivery is becoming more and more popular, and meets new customer needs. In addition, for all tastes, three types of menus adapt to each. Traditional table, with end-of-year holiday dishes, or reception table “with great pomp” … Epicery also offers the table menu for a regional reception, with local specialties. A way to support local businesses, for a quality meal.
