In late August 2026, the Austrian organic specialist Sonnentor opened a branch in Nuremberg, while the household appliance company Vorwerk announced plans for a new store in Trier expected to open in mid-to-late October.

By mid-September 2026, further expansions were noted, including the US-based personal care retailer Bath & Body Works, which scheduled a store opening in Oberhausen for June 2026.
