‘Men for sale’ in temporary Paris shop

In the centre of Paris a pop-up shop has had a unique delivery of stock – 10 men, all looking for love.

The dating site Adopte Un Mec.fr (adopt a guy), has temporarily hired a shop in the first arrondissement of French capital, and is adorning its windows with its star product.

On display during the afternoons this week, the men have been garnering a lot of attention.

One girl told Le Parisien: “We’re taking our revenge! For once it’s us who has the power to look and choose which one we want.”

The surfer, the mechanic, the geek and Mr Chic, among others, were chosen after hundreds of volunteers with profiles on the site came forward.

The site’s marketing director, Thomas Pawlowski, said: “For once the girls can choose the boys and put them in their shopping basket. We use supermarket vocabulary.

“Our website users wanted a shop, so we took a risk and decided to go on tour. We’re leaving Paris on September 21 and going to Brussels, Lausanne, Toulouse and Lyon.”

Danish stores to remove MobilePay from payment options

Over 500 shops in Denmark will no longer offer the popular app MobilePay as a payment option after the platform ordered merchants to purchase new hardware.

Danish stores to remove MobilePay from payment options

The Dagrofa corporation, which owns chains including the Meny and Spar supermarkets, has announced it will remove MobilePay as a payment option in its stores, business media Finans reports.

The decision could impact less than 1 percent of payments in the store which are currently made using MobilePay, the company said.

“The primary reason is that MobilePay will from now on demand a technical setup for the payment system in stores and with the investment that will neee, we have concluded that’s not the way we want to go,” Dagrofa’s head of communications Morten Vestberg told Finans.

Dagrofa owns the Let-Køb and Min Købmand convenience store chains in addition to Meny and Spar.

The decision will mean MobilePay is removed from some 530 stores altogether, although individual stores may choose to retain the payment app.
