STRATEGIES AND EXPANSION PLANS OF RETAILERS

Contrary to what was announced in October 2023, the French luxury department store Galeries Lafayette will now close its only location in Germany earlier, at the end of July 2024.

In dynamic times for digital retail, Kaufland continues to drive forward its growth strategy for marketplaces. Following the successful launch in Slovakia and the Czech Republic last year, Kaufland is now bringing its marketplaces to two more countries: Poland and Austria. The launch is planned for late summer.

Leo’s Abenteuerpark GmbH is building a new indoor adventure world for children on an area of 4,000 sq m at Paunsdorf Center in Leipzig. The adventure park is scheduled to open in spring 2025. As part of the sector trend leisure and entertainment, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) Germany and Leo’s Abenteuerpark are strengthening the location’s profile as a family friendly and experience-orientated shopping and leisure destination in the region.
