He gets up every night at 1 a.m. to prepare his stand and offer good products to his customers. “At home, we spend more volume, we work with local people, so we can afford to practice margins that are lower. Afterwards, with everything increasing, unfortunately, everyone has to keep certain margins if we want to be able to pay the bills behind”explains Adrian cayrol.
