Success never lasted: Geltinger village shop is threatened with closure. The board of directors is calling an extraordinary cooperative meeting for next week.

Due to the persistently poor economic situation, the grocery store with a café operation is now threatened with extinction. If the majority decides to close the village shop on Thursday, Gelting would no longer have a local supplier. “We definitely want to prevent that,” says Silke Noeller-Granget, chairwoman of the Gelting village shop.
