Casino hypermarket converts excess parking into self storage

A Casino hypermarket in Puy-en-Velay, France has found a clever way to use its excess parking space.

The French hypermarket is offering a self-storage service in shipping containers. Customers can register online and retrieve the key using the self-service boxes.

The service is advertised on grocery shopping receipts to make sure customers are aware. The move provides a great example of how to offer additional services with little extra legwork, and of a grocer ‘sweating assets’.
