End of an era: does the star bakery close its branches in BW?

End of an era: does the star bakery close its branches in BW?

The location of the traditional Starbäck bakery has worsened dramatically. The location in Hechingen, which goes back to 1766, is closed at the end of the year. This raises major questions about the future of 34 branches throughout Baden-Württemberg, which are supplied from this location. As early as 2024, various bakery chains were insolvent due to explosively increased operating costs, and the shock about the loss of this elderly facility is noticeable.

Starbäck employs around 1,000 people across Germany. Nevertheless, the company already reported a renovation procedure in self -administration in May. In his message, the management made it clear that solutions are sought to maintain the farms at the production locations in Gera (Thuringia) and Spremberg (Brandenburg). But the Hechingen location will no longer produce by the end of the year.

star bakery stays in Hechingen for now - but how long?

When and whether the branches will be closed, it is still unclear. The headquarters in Hechingen supplies numerous sales outlets in the area and beyond. It remains to be seen whether the branches can continue to be cared for by the widely remote locations in Thuringia or Brandenburg. The closure of a small small town bakery last August is another example of how draconian the market deals with new challenges.

The branches of the star bakery in Baden-Württemberg are distributed across the entire state, from Hechingen to various Kauflander and cafés. An exact list of these locations illuminates the company's comprehensive presence. The closure of the main location could not only endanger the branches, but also the baking tradition in the region.

The reason for this development is the enormously increased costs of raw materials, energy and personnel. Many bakeries have forced these financial burdens on their knees. A company spokesman said that the self -administration procedure offers a framework to re -host the company in order to better adapt to a walking market environment.

The discussion about the future of the star bakery and its branches is in full swing, and while the company takes steps to renovate, the question remains how long the tradition of the star bakery in Baden-Württemberg remains.
