The BHV Marais, in receivership, was forced to close its doors earlier than planned this Monday
The management of the Parisian department store invokes a temporary “administrative regularization” linked to an insurance issue.
Placed in receivership a week ago, the BHV Marais was forced to close its doors earlier than planned this Monday, November 9, at 4 p.m., according to the management of the Parisian department store. She invokes a temporary “administrative regularization” linked to an insurance issue. The BHV Marais and the BHV Parly 2, in Yvelines (Île-de-France) “must close this evening as a precaution for our teams and our customers: one of our insurance policies could not be transferred as part of the current legal recovery,” explained the president of the brand, Karl-Stéphane Cottendin, in a message to employees transferred to AFP.
Monday before 6 p.m., the doors of the Parisian department store were closed and the lights turned off, with no one inside and no poster informing customers, noted an AFP journalist. “The cash flow difficulties no longer allow us to carry out the two projects before us: on the one hand the relaunch of the store, on the other hand the treatment of the liabilities,” Karl-Stéphane Cottendin explained to Le Figaro at the end of October, after the announcement of his bankruptcy filing. “Requesting placement in receivership is a considered decision.
This is a strategic step in the restructuring that we are carrying out,” he added.
