Rewe: Large branch in Munich closes forever at the weekend
While Kaufland fans are waiting for the new branch, a Rewe in Munich will be closed from Monday – to the displeasure of numerous customers.
Update from January 14, 2022: The planned new Kaufland location (see original article below) in the Mira shopping center is still a construction site. It is unclear when visitors will be able to shop there. However, a contact point for groceries on site will close its doors well before that.
On Friday, the shopping center team informed via Facebook: The local Rewe market will be closed from Monday. Apparently forever: After this weekend, the Rewe will remain closed in our Mira shopping center. “We will contact REWE for the cooperation and wish the employees all the best! We know that this means a change for you, but of course all other food providers will remain with you! Unfortunately, a little patience will be necessary until Kaufland opens, but we are doing everything we can to ensure that you can get everything you need from us in the meantime!”
Rewe branch closes – customers react
Apparently, the Rewe market had quite a few regular customers. At least there are various comments of regret. “It’s a shame that Rewe is closing. He had the best fruit and vegetable department,” writes one user. Another asks why Rewe is closing, inquires about the Kaufland opening date and tags a friend. “Oh no,” writes the request. “Is there already an opening date for Kaufland?” Another wants to know. Already in December (see below) some had asked themselves this question.
Kaufland opens new Munich branch on 3,500 square meters – but there is a big “but”
Our article from December 30, 2021: Munich – The supermarket chain Kaufland has many fans who appreciate the wide range. Others tend to avoid the big branches because they don’t want to walk long distances just to buy a piece of butter and a pack of coffee. The first group can be happy: Kaufland opened a new location in Munich: in the Mira shopping center in the north of the city at Schleißheimer Straße 506.
Kaufland: New branch in Munich still a construction site
but do you want As early as October 15, 2020 (!), the Mira operators announced via social media that a new Kaufland store would open on the upper floor of the shopping center on 3,500 square meters in 2022. A fan has not forgotten the announcement – and is now waiting on the Facebook page: “Is there already an exact date when Kaufland will open in the Mira shopping center in Munich? It’s still a construction site at the moment.” Potential customers have now been waiting for more than 14 months.
Kaufland cannot name the opening date for the new Munich branch either
Kaufland reacts – and wants to help, but can’t. “We’d love to tell you, but unfortunately we really don’t know. We can therefore not give you a binding answer.” So the big “but”: not even Kaufland itself can predict whether the opening will be on December 31, 2022 or earlier. A few months ago there was an ugly incident at a Kaufland checkout – which even made a customer cry. Because he didn’t like a Kaufland pizza, a customer says he can force himself to do three quick tests. (lin)
