Podolski-Backed Mangal Döner Shuts Hürth Outlet as Chain Pivots to Larger Sites

Lease expiry tied to a planned demolition forced the shutdown.

Overview

  • The Hürth shop has been closed for about ten days and its illuminated sign has already been removed, according to local reporting.
  • A company spokesperson said the lease ended and the building at Luxemburger Straße/Horbeller Straße is slated to be replaced by a residential and commercial project up to five stories.
  • Management says the brand will focus on high-traffic locations with ample seating and a more comfortable setting, moving away from smaller formats.
  • Other recent exits include Pulheim-Stommeln this summer under the new strategy and a short-lived pop-up on Berlin’s Kottbusser Damm that closed after eight months in 2024.
  • Despite the closures, Mangal opened a new branch in Brühl in April and plans three additional Rhein-Erft-Kreis locations in 2026.
