Après un énième problème avec un détaillant qui ne peut pas payer sa marchandise, ils entreprennent de mettre le pied dans le monde impitoyable de la grande distribution en travaillant avec, une chaîne européenne d'hypermarchés. Reçus dans un premier temps par Peznec, dubitatif quant à la marchandise, ils sont finalement pris en charge par Denis Vierhouten, directeur des achats d'Eurodiscount.
