Nordhorn's retail is booming: Mayor celebrates strong sales!

In the city of Nordhorn, a positive development in retail is emerging. According to the current middle center monitor of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) Osnabrück Emsland Grafschaft Bentheim, retail sales achieve above-average sales compared to the local purchasing power. This success is viewed as a result of targeted measures to attracting the business location and the city center.

Mayor Thomas Berling (SPD) emphasizes how important the high experience is for the city. "The good figures show our successful commitment to an attractive business location," said Berling. By initiatives to improve the city center and the promotion of cycling, unique features have been created in Nordhorn that make the city special. This is underlined by the planned opening of a new urban harbor, which is intended to further increase the quality of stay in the Wasserstadt.

Another positive aspect of the report is the increase in the number of employees in the trade. This increase in jobs is a sign of economic stability and the continuing efforts to position Nordhorn as an attractive location. The integration of new trade concepts and the address of a wider target group seem to bear fruit.

It is remarkable that Nordhorn also performs so well at a time when many retailers are fighting with challenges such as online trading and economic pressure. The IHK interprets this as proof of the strength of the local community and the commitment of the entrepreneurs.

The current Situation in the Nordhorn retail is also overshadowed by criminal activities. As stated in a report dated September 28, 2024, new data theft incidents, which are directed against the IHK members, try to endanger the security situation in the business area. This threat shows how important it is that companies are well informed and protected.

Nordhorn is facing a dilemma: on the one hand, the retail is blooming, on the other hand, companies have to prepare for external threats. However, the IHK and the city administration seem to be determined to further promote the positive developments and at the same time to reinforce security measures.
