Halal supermarket in Paris told to sell pork and alcohol or face closure
5th August 2016
'It's business,' the manager of Good Price said, 'I look around me and I target what I see'
A halal supermarket in Paris has been ordered by local authorities to sell pork and alcohol or face closure.
The Good Price mini-market in Colombes has not followed the conditions of its lease, which states the shop must act as a "general food store", the local authority has said.
It argues that members of the local community are not being served properly if the shop does not sell pork or alcohol products.
“The mayor of Colombes, Nicole Goueta, went there herself and asked the owner to diversify the range of products by adding alcohol and non-halal meats,” the mayor’s chief of staff, Jerome Besnard, told The Telegraph.
