This strong identity enables it to stand out from the crowd and makes life easier for customers, highlighting the strengths of the group’s partner retailers and making its shopping centers clearer and more visible.

Mercialys is evolving with their needs in order to stand out in a highly competitive landscape to be able to speak loudly and clearly to its customers and come up with a targeted and unique response to their demands by rolling out an effective and pragmatic policy of services. This is the aim of the G LA GALERIE concept, which reflects a different way of looking at retail.
