The fashion store Cactus has to say goodbye to Taufkirchen, the lease has not been extended. In the future, the Vitalis pharmacy next door will share the use of the rooms.

Taufkirchen – Another specialist shop less in Taufkirchen. The boutique Cactus has to close its premises at the shopping centre on Landshuter Straße on 30 June. But it is not the online business that is to blame, as one might assume that the Reichvilser family, which owns the company, is closing the Taufkirchen branch after 25 years.

"It is with melancholy that we have to give up Taufkirchen. Unfortunately, the owner does not renew our lease. We are therefore forced to close, but are looking for opportunities for a new branch in the village," says owner Willi Reichvilser and emphasizes that the branches in Velden and Vilsbiburg will remain in place. Now a total clearance sale is announced until the end of June. "Our great team has built up many regular customers over the past 20 years." That's why they were personally informed in advance." There is 30 percent on everything, sometimes up to 80 percent." After all, 90 percent of his clientele are regular customers, because "with us they know what they get and appreciate it."

One of them is Antonie Umkehrer. She has been travelling from Eberspoint to Taufkirchen for many years because "we are so well served here and are satisfied. It's a pity that they're closing. The quality and value for money have always been good." Margarethe Euwens-Albrecht even regularly comes from Waldsassen Taufkirchen, also to shop at Cactus, because she thinks the shop is "great".

Willi Reichvilser wanted to extend his lease last year. But he can't keep up with the offer of his neighbor, the Vitalis pharmacy, he admits. He had signed a much longer lease to enlarge. However, the neighbors from the Vitalis pharmacy had accommodated him so that he could carry out his sale for spring and summer fashion in June. Pharmacist Ulla Schreff very much regrets that Cactus-Mode, a long-established and popular business, will close again. "It was a nice combination and of course it's a shame for the customers. Nevertheless, we could not refuse the landlord's offer." The pharmacy's business has grown steadily even after the handover from Franz Stuckenberger to Jörg Heider in October 2020.

"It has been apparent for a long time that we are bursting at the seams, especially behind the scenes. And it is not uncommon for the queue to stand in front of the parking lot," Schreff reported. There are currently 25 employees. "The enlargement of the pharmacy is a blessing for the entire team, because we can make good use of the space and expand all areas," says the Vitalis store manager, looking ahead: "All you have to do is remove the lightweight wall and you have almost twice the area." Her boss Jörg Heider had sat down with Mr. Reichvilser to see if the Cactus could perhaps move into the former test station (premises in the northern wing of the building, right next to the fashion store, editor's note), but there was no heating and sanitary facilities there. In addition, half of the premises are simply shell construction and would first have to be elaborately prepared.

"Unfortunately, we ourselves cannot use the former test station as a workspace because the pharmacy premises have to be contiguous." But Willi Reichvilser's team can also take positives from the farewell, because there are many friendly, encouraging words.
