Sylvia Engel continues the traditional business "Ria Weiß".

She has been working there for two decades, and now she is the new owner of the Weiß stationery store.

Garching

- Not very much will change when Sylvia Engel unlocks the door of the stationery shop at Schleißheimer Straße 5 on Monday morning.

“Ria White” will continue to be on the shop window, after all customers have been coming to “Ria” for 28 years.

“So why should I change the business name?” Says Engel.

It was closed for three days due to an inventory, "a renovation is not planned at the moment," says Engel.

The stationery store is one of the oldest in Garching, from small staples, erasers, office and business supplies, greeting cards, wrapping paper to newspapers, everything can be found in a 50 square meter store.

There is also a large fax and copier machine, and the lottery office will also continue to exist.

"The shop is my home"

Sylvia Engel has also been employed for over 20 years, "the shop is my home." She knows every regular customer by name and knows their wishes.

Since Ria's son Michael, who has been the owner for 20 years, simply cannot go on with "heavy heart" in his own words due to a serious and protracted illness, but has to take care of his health, he asked "Sylvia" whether she doesn't want to take over.

Their hearts immediately said yes, but "I've been thinking carefully about it for a while," says Engel.

The backing of her family was also important.

But it was a matter close to her heart that the traditional business would definitely continue to exist.

"And everyone knows me too."
