Merci had already been announcing it since 2013 and its acquisition by the Gerbi family, that priority was to go to international development. Tokyo and New York may have been mentioned but it was London where the multibrands' team were focused. And now according to Draper's, the i's should be dotted and the t's crossed very shortly.

Merci is thus getting ready to sign on for a location in the British capital's King's Cross area. The surface area should be equivalent to the first Merci store opened in France in 2009 on Boulevard Beaumarchais, or approximately 16,000 square feet.

The entire zone around the famous London train station is undergoing a major renovation and revamp, with several new offices and stores. Different buildings have been opening one by one since 2014, with the last ones scheduled to open in 2020.
