Mercialys and Initiative France are joining forces to support the regeneration of the regions and their retail stores. A national partnership agreement was signed on March 16, 2021 by Vincent Ravat, Mercialys’ Chief Executive Officer, and Guillaume Pepy, President of the Initiative France network. It sets out the shared commitment by both of these organizations to support, through close synergies with local and regional authorities, economic development in the regions by making it easier to start up businesses and particularly retail stores. Mercialys will be making a commitment alongside local Initiative France associations close to its 51 shopping centers in mainland France and overseas territories.
