Edeka new building in Tuttlingen is delayed: there are additional millions!

Weimarstraße, 78532 Tuttlingen, Deutschland - In Tuttlingen, the construction work for the new Edeka-E Center in Weimarstrasse stands still after unexpected problems. The reason for this are unexpected incidents in the excavation of earth where asbestos were found. As a result, additional disposal reports had to be created and permits had to be obtained. "We are currently hanging," says Holger Milkau, the owner who also spoke of necessary adjustments to the building, such as the laying of a tank for the sprinkler system towards the Danube. These changes of plan have resulted in enormous additional costs that move in the millions, as schwaebische.de reported. The opening of the market is now targeted for the end of 2026 or early 2027 after delayed excavation and approval processes have significantly influenced the schedule.

New Edeka market in Geisingen shortly before the opening

Meanwhile, the countdown for opening the new Edeka market in Geisingen runs. After a closure of over 16 months, the new market will open on July 3. The construction work is almost complete, the parking spaces are laid out, and the required cooling devices are tested. Holger Milkau, from the owner family, said that 30,000 articles for sale are already being set up. Originally, a basic equipment with 25,000 articles was planned, which significantly increases availability during the opening, according to suedkurier.de . In addition, the new business will be equipped with a comprehensive wine offer and modern selfScan checkouts.

The preparations in the Geisinger Markt are in full swing. Despite the still ongoing work inside, the outdoor area is already perceived as almost finished, including a new children's playground. The last shelves and products are delivered shortly before the opening to ensure that everything is ready when the doors open. However, the Internet connection, which is of crucial importance for the operation of the newly designed market, remains a challenge.
