"The number of retail shops in Germany will continue to decline in 2023. The small-scale non-food specialist trade is particularly affected. In the years 2020 to 2022, which were heavily influenced by the effects of the corona pandemic, the number of shops fell by 11,000 per year, which is significantly more than in the pre-crisis years 2015 to 2019, when this figure was 5,000 shops per year. By the end of 2023, this would leave 311,000 shops nationwide. This means that within 10 years from 2015 to 2025, the number of shops will level off from just under 400k to less than 290k. 25% less. In this context, the news from Primark fits in, of course. In Germany, 4 more stores are to be closed in addition to the 2 already closed in Berlin and Darmstadt. The chain is "over-represented" in some regions and the profitability in the German stores is "at an unacceptable level", the management said in a letter to the staff today. The shops in Gelsenkirchen, Krefeld, Kaiserslautern and in Frankfurt's Nordwestzentrum are affected by the realignment. Negotiations with the employees about the closure plans will be started.420 jobs are affected. Due to the expansion in recent years, the average size of the German branches is "considerably" larger than in other countries. Therefore, the company plans to downsize existing shops. Sales figures for the company were published today and show growth of 19% across all countries and 13% in Germany. So not bad at all. Profit has also grown again. What I find extraordinary is the fact that the CEO of DE, Christiane Wiggers-Voellm, personally explained the background in a post on LinkedIn and wrote about a difficult day for Primark but also for herself. She wants to communicate transparently and not let any more rumours arise. I wish her, the company and of course the employees all the best for the future! Alongside Ahlers and Gerry Weber, who brought up the rear by a long way in MAY, Mytheresa's stock recorded a sensitive price correction. After a difficult quarter, the online luxury retailer was forced to drop guidance for the fiscal year ending in June. Instead of a growth in gross goods volume of 16 to 22%, the e-commerce company only expects 13% to 15%. Investors were disappointed, the share fell significantly and lost a quarter of its value on a weekly basis. With a price of at times below 5 euros, the paper reached its 52-week low. More than half of the titles in MAY lost on a weekly basis. As a result, the MAI had to leave its recovery course again and is listed with a minus of 0.3%. In contrast, the DAX gained 0.5% in the same period. By far the biggest losses were recorded by the Ahlers and Gerry Weber shares with more than minus 70%. This is mainly due to the announcement of the companies. Ahlers AG announced on Monday that it had filed for insolvency due to "business development that was below plan". Gerry Weber announced just a few days earlier that the company was in self-administration in insolvency proceedings. englische kurzform """Large self-checkout area in the new Milan flagship and also 24-hour parcel machines - for the first time also for returns: the new flagship of the Inditex brand Pull & Bear in Milan is setting standards in fashion retail in terms of digitalisation.

The mother of the miniskirt Mary Quant popularised the miniskirt in the 1960s and became a fashion icon. On Thursday, the British designer died at the age of 93. Quant not only became known as the "mother of the miniskirt", but also popularised hot pants, the tight-fitting ribbed jumper, colourful tights and PVC mackintoshes. "She wore a short pleated skirt about 25 inches long, a skin-tight black jumper, black tights and a bob haircut." Two decades later, model Twiggy, with doe eyes and mascaraed eyelashes, embodied this look as the trademark of an entire generation. Incidentally, she named the miniskirt after her favourite car, the Mini Cooper. Quellen:
