Migros Zurich sale of Tegut supermarkets

Overview

Migros Zurich, the owner of the German supermarket chain Tegut, has decided to withdraw from the German market due to intense competition and long-term economic challenges. The exit affects approximately 7,500 employees.

While major competitors including Rewe, Edeka, and Netto have secured a combined 252 locations to renovate and reopen under new branding, the future of approximately 36 stores remains uncertain. These remaining sites are being sold via an ongoing bidding process. To manage the transition, Tegut has offered significant discounts to customers, with some locations providing up to 50% off certain stock.
