Olching's main street in danger: Rewe market closes in 2025
Olchinger Hauptstrasse, which has long been considered a successful shopping mile, is faced with an increasing vacancy problem. The trade association, represented by Peter Helfer, Rainer Saalfeld and Otmar Nöth, has raised the alarm about the increasing number of empty shops. Attempts are being made to counteract this with eye-catching posters designed to encourage people to shop locally. The association also criticized the town hall, which rejected the allegations as inaccurate.
In particular, central contact points for customers, such as the Rossmann drugstore, are already closed, while the Rewe supermarket is scheduled to close in November 2025. According to a spokeswoman for Rewe, the closure was due to the changing competitive environment, as smaller city markets are no longer competitive these days. The trade association blames the city administration for some of the closures, which it vigorously rejects.
Despite the challenging situation, the city administration is trying to find solutions to revitalize the city center. Plans for new retail locations outside the center are being handled restrictively in order to prevent the market from being flooded and vacancies. City marketing initiatives and campaigns are designed to help stimulate the local economy and encourage purchasing locally. A balanced mix of shops and the owners' willingness to support innovative ideas could be crucial for the future of Olchinger Hauptstrasse.
