Munich
- Those who
stroll
through the
city center
these days are
often surprised at how little is going on.
The effects of the
Corona period
can be clearly felt in the shopping miles: Yes, business has been much better.
Some shops even had to close due to the economic difficulties.
Munich: Corona is said to have meant that every fifth store had to close
But how many
Munich shops
actually
fell victim to the
Corona *
pandemic
?
Every fifth, the Sendinblue platform claims to have determined.
In a study of large shopping streets, the provider comes to the conclusion that
nowhere in Germany
is the number of shops
dying
as big as in the state capital.
The result: almost
20 percent of the Munich shops
have partly closed.
Hamburg
follows some distance behind
, where 17.9 percent of the shops are currently not open.
The
situation is also bad
in
Bonn
(16.8 percent) and
Bremen
(15.8 percent).
What do
Munich industry experts
say
about the numbers?
“From our point of view, that's not true.
The number of shops that had to close in the past weeks and months is less than five percent, ”says Wolfgang Fischer, Managing Director of Citypartner, the corporate initiative in
downtown Munich
.
Shops are dying after Corona aid?
Customers could prevent that
Due to the closure of some large stores such as Sport Münzinger (on Marienplatz), Jeans Kaltenbach (Sendlinger Straße), the Disney or S-Oliver store on Kaufingerstraße, many
changes
were still
visible.
Fischer says: “
Fortunately,
government aid for the entrepreneurs is
taking effect at the moment
.
We fear, however, that we are
threatened with
dying
shops if the aid runs out, but the shops do not
generate
enough
sales
. ”Customers could prevent that.
