achalander

to supply with clientele

Usage

Achalander technically means to attract customers to a shop (achalander une boutique). In practice, the word is almost only seen as the past participle achalandé(e), which has drifted in common usage to mean "well-stocked" (un magasin bien achalandé) rather than its original sense of "having many customers."

Examples
  • Cette nouvelle enseigne a du mal à achalander sa boutique.This new store is struggling to attract customers.
  • Le magasin est très bien achalandé en produits bio.The store is very well-stocked with organic products.
  • Un bon emplacement suffit parfois à achalander un commerce.A good location is sometimes enough to bring in customers for a business.
Common mistake

Even native speakers use achalandé to mean "well-stocked" rather than its original "has lots of customers" — a learner should know both meanings circulate, since dictionaries still flag the "well-stocked" sense as historically loose but extremely common.
