Migros focuses on alcoholic beverages and smoking oasis in Bern

Migros setzt in Bern auf Alkoholika und Raucheroase

Guest

Migros is launching a major culinary offensive in Bern and is also focusing on alcoholic beverages and smokers' oases. Migros has developed the new gastronomic concept for the Bern market hall and has registered 16 new gastronomic formats. All trademark applications provide for the sale of beer and other alcoholic beverages. Migros has also registered a wine bar concept ("Weinkontor") and a smoker's lounge ("Smoker's Lounge").

The orange giant is breaking with one of the principles of founding father Gottlieb Duttweiler. He did not want any alcohol or tobacco products in his stores.

Migros' patent offensive is linked to the CHF 8 million renovation of the Bern market hall, as a spokeswoman for the Migros Aare cooperative confirmed to the Handelszeitung.

Very poorly researched!

Migros has no plans to set up its own stores in the Bern market hall. Instead, the plan is to let various third-party tenants move in.
The ban on the sale of alcohol and tobacco products only applies to stores that are operated by the Cooperatives and run under the MIGROS name, such as the Migros supermarkets and the Migros restaurant and take-aways. Migros partners, VOI Migros partners and tenants in Migros-owned centers or companies that are wholly owned by the Federation of Migros Cooperatives or in which it has a partial stake (e.g. Denner, Globus, LeShop, Scana) are not affected.

I thought so too. But I'm not sure, because @regio_konsum took over the article 100%. So he didn't add his own text, but only split the article by inserting the link. ?

I am also of the opinion that regio_konsum is the same person as ivan92 / Migroleum etc.. The somewhat jpournalistic behavior here corresponds to that which was last displayed underMigrussszzz. However, I believe that there was another person behind the user name Migi-Ferkel (Brainstuff).

As I understand it, Migros has had various gastro formats (including a smoking lounge) protected, but has not yet decided which ones will be implemented.
