Edeka to transform Tengelmann stores to new ‘xpress’ format | Progresiv

Edeka is converting Tengelmann stores to the xpress format, launching a new sales rail for areas under 600 sqm. By September 2017, 50 of the Tengelmann stores, which had been taken over by the company at the beginning of the year, will be converted accordingly.

At the same time, the range will be streamlined and supplemented by snack products for the road. The first Edeka-xpress stores will open in mid-July. Small-sized formats are currently on the market for foodstuffs. The Edeka regional company Minden-Hannover had already launched a similar concept just over a year ago.

The competition has already been active since 2011 with the Rewe to go format. (www.immobilien-zeitung.de)
