MFO Matratzen to Close All 97 Stores by Year-End After Rescue Bid Fails

The company says the planned turnaround required fresh investment that never materialized after months in self-administration.

Overview

  • Operations will cease by December 31, 2025, with the remaining 97 locations across Germany to shut.
  • Roughly 300 employees are set to lose their jobs as the retailer winds down.
  • Advisers contacted about 44 potential investors, but the last interested party decided against a purchase.
  • A final clearance sale is underway in stores and online to liquidate remaining stock.
  • The chain entered self-administration on March 31, reduced its network from 124 to 97 sites, and posted 2023 revenue of €34.4 million with a €1.2 million loss and an equity deficit of more than €29 million.
