“The grown-ups benefited from it”: In addition to restaurants, they were considered a symbol for businesses that faced restrictions: fitness centers. The first winter season is now running without restrictions. We spoke to Claude Ammann of Zuchwil, who chairs the Swiss Association of Fitness Centers, about training after the holidays, the long-term consequences of Covid and the mix of strength and endurance. Ammann’s conclusion: Customers are now returning, but fitness operators are still struggling to repay their loans. According to Ammann, the big players in the sector, which were able to strengthen their market position during the crisis, have benefited the most.
Epiphany cake: Today is Epiphany. That’s why we stopped at Urs Erni’s bakery in Wolfwil. Today, more than 400 Epiphany sweets are sold there. We didn’t just talk to him about how customers’ tastes have changed. Also reveal if you can tell where the king is.
Taxi: Urs Hänzi has been driving a taxi in Grenchen for 27 years. It hasn’t always been an easy time: the expansion of public transport has made business difficult, as has the pandemic. But he doesn’t want to complain: the guests have become friendlier, says Hänzi. “Today it is more pleasant to drive a taxi than before.”
