"Fish scent makes us sell less": retailers dissatisfied with new market setup in Willebroek

In Willebroek, local shopkeepers express dissatisfaction with the new market layout, particularly due to a fish stall's proximity affecting clothing sales. Ann Fauconnier, a clothing store owner, reports a decline in customers and sales since the market's reorganization on September 30. Despite her appreciation for the fish stall operators, she highlights the negative impact of fish odors on her business. The local government is in discussions with traders to address concerns and explore potential adjustments to the market setup. Meanwhile, Andreas Quiroz, a flower shop owner, emphasizes the need for better communication and collaboration with the municipality regarding market arrangements.
