XXXLutz: dispute over boundary lines feature to retreat
In October the project seemed to be as good as perfect: 43 500 square meters, it should be at the Heilbronner Strasse in Stuttgart. Now is blown to retreat. In a letter to the administration had XXXLutz the project "cancellation surprising," reported the Stuttgarter Zeitung. As justification led the charge XXXLutz the ongoing issue in negotiations over furniture House plans: the city had granted the company only 350 square meters of retail space for so-called "downtown-relevant edge ranges. The area for the divergence groups would thus have had the exact size, the Esslingen also Rieger last fall had to be content. For the Austrians, this is obviously not enough, because of home textiles, electrical appliances & Co. will be - if there is sufficient space - usually generates more than 20 percent of sales. The city is however expected that the cancellation is not due solely to the issue at the border ranges, but also to the current economic situation. The most recently announced expansion plans of the Group XXXLutz speak against a different language. In Western Europe are to be opened up to ten new stores in the next five years. There are strong indications that the Austrians put at such ambitious plans, less willingness to compromise on the day. The perspective is no longer the same as a few years ago, because XXXLutz is more and more of a international group. If it is not in a place like it, then it fits just somewhere else. 2010 will open the way XXXLutz in Malmö, Sweden - in a former Ikea house.
