Can you introduce yourself in a few lines?
Elodie, 35 years old, high school diploma in business and several years of law studies. I am the mother of two boys. My first job was as a sales assistant at the Viennes bakery in SANTES. In 2007, I met Thierry (40), who had been a pastry chef for eight years at the same employer. 2007 was the year of our engagement, our wedding, and the takeover of our bakery in Hem. I was 21 years old.
Why did you choose the Campaillette brand?
We have been working with Grands Moulins de Paris for 14 years now. We have been loyal to the Campaillette brand from the very beginning. The quality is consistent, and we particularly appreciate the support provided by the teams and the tools made available to us. Fourteen years of trust and enriching collaboration.
Why did you choose to renovate your bakery in Campaillette colors?
It was a logical step. We really like the Campaillette colors, the interior is modern, practical, and very trendy, and the white façade with its orange awning makes us visible from afar.
How did Grands Moulins de Paris support you in this process?
Renovating a store is no easy task, and it's not something you can do alone. We received excellent advice and support from the teams on furniture layout, product display, and choosing suppliers. Les Grands Moulins de Paris advised us and helped us set up a pop-up store while the work was being done. This created a buzz among our customers, who followed the progress of the new store step by step.
How did the work go?
Excellent organization, a schedule that was adhered to, and above all, very professional and friendly teams.
What did you gain from it?
Firstly, we attracted new customers thanks to the modern, welcoming façade and interior. After a few weeks, we saw a 20% increase in turnover, mainly in the pastry and snack sections. This enabled us to hire a full-time caterer and two pastry apprentices.
What advice would you give to other bakers who are unsure about choosing Campaillette for their bakery?
Simply trust and take the plunge, for advice, ideas, support, and turnkey solutions. Our customers say it best: they are happy with the change and enjoy the time they spend in the bakery. It really is a pleasant and enjoyable experience.
