## Resource

The rapid expansion of the low-cost chicken chain Master Poulet has ignited a conflict between budget-conscious consumers and local authorities. While customers praise the affordable meals, mayors and shopkeepers are using urban planning tactics to block the franchise's growth.

## Highlights
- Main idea: The rise of Master Poulet represents a massive shift in the poultry market, moving 10,000 tons of meat annually
- Tension: Local officials in Saint-Ouen are using concrete blocks and large planters to physically obstruct storefronts to prevent 'junk food' proliferation
- Economic driver: High inflation and rising food costs make 7-euro meals highly attractive to working-class consumers compared to traditional bistros
- Failure mode: Critics argue the chain causes olfactory and noise pollution, potentially devaluing local real estate and neighborhood character
- Counter-argument: Franchise leadership accuses municipal leaders of using 'food quality' as a pretext for gentrification and selective commerce regulation
