Shoe dealers Görtz fight for existence: branches in Hamburg before closing!

Bergedorf, Deutschland - The shoe retailer Görtz is confronted with serious financial difficulties, which now lead to the evacuation of two Hamburg branches. This was decided by a judgment of the Hamburg Regional Court. The branches are affected in the City Center Bergedorf and in the Alstertaler shopping center. The background is rental debts that amount to over 700,000 euros, with Görtz no longer making payments to the landlord in the Alstertaler shopping center.

According to a report by Mopo , the district court did not appear to evacuate at the negotiation. So far, no objection to the decision has been filed. If Görtz does not clear the branches themselves, the landlords are forced to consult a bailiff. In addition, other Görtz branches in Spitalerstrasse, Europapassage, Mercado in Ottensen and Elbe shopping center are in danger.
