The French family business Café Coton, which specialises in men's shirts, is bogged in a crisis. After being placed in receivership, it is now coping with closure threats. The changing of consumer trends, the growth of e-commerce have participated in playing a major role in weakening its business activities. Around 100 employees, including 8 managers, are about to lose their jobs. Café Coton is currently calling out for a buyer who could help to avoid a negative outcome. However, its future remains uncertain.
