“It’s not a gift”
According to a source in the sector, this rent “is very high. “ “We always say: it will be too expensive for a merchant. But there! 4,500 euros per month, this is not a gift !“
“We want to revive the throw of the Belle Epoque”: faced with the commercial decline of Place du Miroir, a “circle of traders” is set up.
A small overview makes it possible to check the order of magnitude.

A shocking Islamophobic tag in the heart of Jette, place du Miroir: the town condemns and demanded the disappearance of this tag.
On the opposition benches, they are said to fear the effects of such rent. “”Our only concern is to see the high rental price repercussions on the price of fries, that could not afford a good number of families“, fears the Brussels advisor and deputy Leila Agic (PS). In the call for tenders, no indication concerning the price of fries is taken up.
Potential buyers can send their applications to the municipality until August 31, 2025.
