Globus stays in Neubrandenburg: Markethalle has a future for the time being!

Neubrandenburg, Deutschland - The retail market in Neubrandenburg causes a stir after the decision has been made that the Globus market hall will be preserved for the time being. This decision was announced on Wednesday during a concert, with Globus reacting to the first results from the exams of the Federal Cartel Office. Apparently Globus will operate the market hall in Neubrandenburg for the time being, instead of giving them to Kaufland.

The original plan to sell the locations in Neubrandenburg and Bedburg, Chemnitz, Essen and Wesel to Kaufland is therefore put on hold for the time being. Globus intends to submit a new registration of the project to the Federal Cartel Office. The company plans to expect a decision within one month.

background and meaning of the decision

The Globus Markthalle in Neubrandenburg has only been part of the company for two years after Globus had taken over the markets from the insolvent real chain. With the existence of two Kaufland branches in Neubrandenburg, which are located in the Rostock district and in the Oststadt, the opening of a third Kaufland market near the Globus market hall could lead to a dominant position, which is a potential distortion of competition. This underlines the importance of the competition investigation by the Federal Cartel Office.

The announcement to receive the market hall in Neubrandenburg was partially supported by an online petition that was launched by citizens. This shows the high priority that the market hall has for the local community. Citizens had expressed concerns that a loss of the Globus Markthalle could have a negative impact on the shopping landscape in Neubrandenburg.

The current developments raise questions about how the retail market in the region will develop. It remains to be seen how the Federal Cartel Office reacts to the new registration and what other steps the companies will take.
