Café Sacher Graz concludes after 22 years: a farewell to tradition!

in Graz, one of the cultural hotspots in Austria, will irrevocably close its doors after over two decades. The traditional café Sacher, which opened its gates in 2002, can no longer be managed profitably despite the intensive efforts of the operators. Matthias Winkler, CEO of the Sacher Group, said: "We carefully checked every opportunity to bring the café house to the profit zone. Unfortunately, this was neither possible through increases in sales nor by reducing costs to the required extent." According to kosmo.at , the Café Sacher will continue to receive guests in the coming months before it finally closes in the first half of last year. A total of 16 employees are affected by this decision, and Winkler emphasizes that they will take care of their professional future.

The closure of the café marks the end of a chapter in Graz coffee house culture. Originally opened with the aim of establishing the coveted Sacher brand outside of Vienna, the Café Sacher Graz has been a place of enjoyment and exchange for numerous guests until his last day. Winkler paid great thanks to the employees and guests who made the café a special place: "Your commitment and your passion made the café unique," said the CEO, like ots.at reported. Despite the closure, Winkler leaves the possibility of a future comeback: "Perhaps there will be a new way to open a café house in the future - we would very much welcome."
