Berlin. The change of ownership at KaDeWe has further consequences: after the sausage and meat counter, other areas are now facing closure.
Another bombshell at the Kaufhaus der Westens (KaDeWe): After the closure of the sausage and meat counter on the popular gourmet floor on the sixth floor of the luxury department store became public just a few days ago, the next areas are now apparently facing closure. As RBB reportsthe “Budweiser Bar” and the “Wurstkessel” are to be closed. This was announced by the KaDeWe-Press office informed the radio and TV station.
There is apparently no long deadline: The “Budweiser Bar”, which KaDeWe advertises as the “most traditional bar in our sixth district”, is to close on August 1st. Before that, there will be another farewell party It is not known when the “Wurstkessel”, which serves typical Berlin dishes such as currywurst and potato soup, will close.
Restructuring at KaDeWe after change of ownership
Die Closures are part of a larger restructuring being carried out by the new KaDeWe owners. The Thai Central Group took over the department store completely after the previous owner Signa filed for bankruptcy. However, it had already owned 50.1 percent and thus the majority.
Modernization and redesign are absolutely necessary, the RBB quotes the KaDeWe Group as saying. Offers such as the “Budweiser Bar” and the “Wurstkessel” are “simply no longer up to date”. And: “Changes that will take some time.” This means that the traditional department store could see even more innovations.
