Preview of action: New discount store in the Bregenz Uniqa Center?
The Bregenzers have a new topic of conversation: Shortly after the announcement that the Hervis sports store in the Uniqa Center will close at the end of November, speculation about a possible successor is already emerging. The news about the end of the last sports store in the city quickly made waves and sparked a discussion about who could take over the attractive store.
As the latest information shows, the discounter Action could come into play as a successor. This would be an exciting development for many in the region. The Netherlands-based discount retailer plans to expand its presence in Vorarlberg and is scheduled to open in the former Hervis store in March or April next year. This could mean a big plus for the shopping landscape in Bregenz.
Hervis status and plans for action
There is currently a sale going on at Hervis as the community wonders what will happen to the large vacancies in the city. However, according to Raphael Kiene, spokesman for Raiffeisen Landesbank, the business will remain operational until January 31st. “Action will move in on the first of January,” he confirms the rumors that are now swirling around the city. Before opening, the store will be extensively redesigned to meet the discounter's needs.
Action already has a branch in Hard and is planning to open another one in Bürs. With the potential new location in Bregenz, Action would be able to be active in both the lower and upper regions and thereby gain a significant market share.
The opinions in the city
The news about the possible reopening is causing a lot of conversation among the locals. Many are excited to see what will become of the large retail space in the Uniqa Center and how the opening of Action could impact the local retail landscape. Kiene emphasizes that the spacious area of the current Hervis location would be an excellent fit for Action's expansion plans.
As the moment of truth approaches with the first quarter of the new year, it remains to be seen how the situation will develop. The interest in a possible new opening clearly shows the need of the people of Bregenz for new shopping opportunities and the curiosity about how the retail landscape in the city could change.
