The Real market in the Huma shopping world in Sankt Augustin will be closed.
The branch will close in a few months.
Sankt Augustin - Sad certainty for the employees and customers of the Real supermarket in Sankt Augustin: The Real branch in the Huma shopping world will be closed.
Real has now announced this on the official list for Real's break-up, as reported by 24RHEIN.
Real: What happens to the Real in Sankt Augustin?
For a long time, the future of the Real branch in the Huma shopping world in Sankt Augustin (Rhein-Sieg district) was open.
While a possible closure was always considered a possibility, there was also hope that another supermarket could take over the location.
It is now clear: the Real branch in Sankt Augustin will be closed permanently on June 30, 2022.
Real Sankt Augustin (Huma Shoppingwelt) at Rathausallee 16 – closure on June 30, 2022
This is one of the largest shops leaving the Huma shopping world in Sankt Augustin.
The Real branch there extends over two floors, including a drinks market.
There is currently no other classic supermarket or discounter in the shopping center.
It is not yet known exactly how things will continue in the Huma shopping world.
What happens when Real breaks up?
The Real hypermarket chain, which has been ailing for years, is being broken up.
That means: Most of the formerly around 270 Real stores in Germany will disappear.
The branches are mostly taken over by other supermarkets or closed.
Kaufland, Edeka and Globus in particular stood out in the takeovers and together secured more than 130 Ex-Real locations.
Only a small part of the Real branches will continue to operate under the old name even after the breakup.
At the same time, three other Real branches are closing, whose future actually seemed already secured.
The Real stores in Espelkamp, Hemer (NRW) and Wolfenbüttel (Lower Saxony) will also be closed on June 30th.
This is particularly surprising because the locations belonged to the Real branches that were to remain under the old name despite the break-up of the hypermarket chain.
