So far, only eight Real branches have been determined that the Russian investor SCP wanted to close this year. It is now clear: there are significantly more.
Clear cut at Real: The owner of the department store group, the Russian investor SCP, closes ten additional branches. The company announced. Accordingly, there is no longer any economic perspective for these locations.
From the beginning, SCP had made it clear that around 30 branches would probably have to be closed due to a lack of prospects. So far it was clear that the following eight locations should be closed.
With the exception of the branch in Berlin, these stores will all close on January 31, 2021:
- Berlin-Spandau (as of June 30, 2021)
- Bitterfeld-Wolfen
- Duisburg-South
- Frankenthal
- Goslar
- Herten-Westerholt
- Leißling-Weißenfels
- Mönchengladbach-Rheydt
The branch in Augsburg-Königsbrunn was originally supposed to close at the end of March 2021, as the then Real owner, the Metro Group, announced in March of last year. It is now also closing at the end of January 2021, confirmed a Real spokesman on t-online request.
SCP is also closing these ten Real branches
These branches are also to close – on September 30, 2021, as Real now announced:
- Ansbach, Residenzstraße
- Cuxhaven, Konrad-Adenauer-Allee
- Dortmund-Eving, Deutsche Strasse
- Hannover-Linden, Davenstedter Strasse
- Haßloch, Hans-Böckler-Strasse
- Kenn, at the Kenner house
- Maintal-Dörnigheim
- Mönchengladbach-Neuwerk, Krefelder Strasse
- Neustadt an der Aisch, Karl-Eibl-Strasse
- Villingen-Schwenningen, New Market
SCP had acquired the ailing hypermarket chain with its around 270 stores from Metro in spring 2020 in order to break up and resell it. This year, up to 150 stores are to be sold, the rest should be closed by mid-2022, writes the “Lebensmittel Zeitung”.
In addition to Kaufland, Edeka and Globus The Bünting retail chain recently reported Interest in up to 13 Real branches in northwest Germany.
