Overview

• The Naturkind bio supermarket in Dinkelsbühl closed permanently at the end of September after a farewell message from the store team on September 25.
• Its organic assortment has been folded into the neighboring Edeka-Center Ammon, where a branded Naturkind-Welt has been in place since September 29.
• Fixtures and equipment from the closed Dinkelsbühl site are being auctioned on Restlos.com in 127 lots, with bidding due to end on October 16.
• Edeka’s plan for standalone Naturkind markets never expanded beyond about four locations, and Munich is now the only city with an independent Naturkind shop.
• Even as it consolidates Naturkind into in-store zones, Edeka has opened a major logistics center in Marktredwitz that is expected to create around 600 jobs.
