Gastronomy chance in Mülheim: 3 years free of rental for brave entrepreneurs!

Gastronomy chance in Mülheim: 3 years free of rental for brave entrepreneurs!

in the Ruhr area, more precisely in Mülheim an der Ruhr, there are currently exciting developments for the catering trade. An investor is actively looking for a restaurateur for a former building that is to become an attractive parking city as part of the redesign of the Alten Tengelmann site. This parking city, which is to develop over the next ten to 15 years, will include a living quarters for living, education and business, including a park and a lake. At the moment, however, the gastronomic offer in the area is anything but sufficient.

Those responsible behind this project are from the investor Soravia, which offers a completely new way for restaurateurs: If you are willing to open a gastronomy in the old carriage chemise of the site, you benefit from a rental exemption in the first three years. With a midday visitor number of up to 1200 people consisting of professionals, students and students, the interest in improved gastronomic care is great.

unusual challenge for restaurateurs

However, the concept has its pitfalls. The old carriage remise on Ulmenallee is in an appealing state and offers enough space with its approximately 250 square meters, the missing full kitchen is a significant restriction. Interested restaurateurs should either already have a different kitchen to prepare the dishes themselves, or have it necessary to set up a kitchen container to get the operating permit. This development could make the search for suitable interested parties considerably more difficult because many restaurants are dependent on a fully equipped kitchen.

The old carriage remise was previously used as part of the municipal slaughterhouse and could become a popular gastronomy location in the new parking city with the right vision and a committed operator. The challenge of expanding the cooking options and making the location attractive remains up to date. The attempt to strengthen the gastronomic offer in this place could also be a sign that gastronomy has to think more flexibly and innovatively in order to meet the requirements of the market.

In the neighborhood of Mülheim, the city of Essen also plans the “district of generations”, which could further boost the development of the region. There are also attractive new buildings that are intended to enrich the urban life. The successful success of the park city in Mülheim could also serve as a model for future projects in the area.

How the situation develops and whether a suitable restaurateur can be found remains to be seen. The lack of a catering operation on such a strongly frequented terrain could be of great importance for both visitors and for the future of the project. In any case, the anticipation of more gastronomic diversity in Mülheim is great.
