Shock in St. Florian: Unimarkt excludes-post partner threatens!

St. Florian, Österreich - In St. Florian, the sudden closure of the Unimarkt causes excitement among the citizens. According to Mayor Bernd Schützeneder, the branch will be closed by the end of the year, which not only means the loss of a supermarket, but also the loss of the local post partner. Schützeneder was surprised by the decision announced on Friday, November 29, 2024. "There was no question of a closure," he said. The reason for this abrupt step is economic considerations on the part of the management, as the company explained in a statement. Challenges such as a changed buying behavior and a high competitive density would have led to this decision that affects many residents in St. Florian, since the next post office is located in Enns, such as MeinDZIRK.AT reported.

At the same time, an innovative transport system is being prepared in St. Florian: from March 2025, the test operation of an automated on-demand shuttlebus starts. The first necessary road markings have already been installed to enable the operation. This bus will combine companies in the Asten-Fisching train station in the business park and will act on demand without a fixed timetable. Passengers can use the bus free of charge, processing several bookings at the same time. The needs of citizens should be better taken into account via the planned stops in St. Florian, including J. and A. Frischeis and ACS Logistics. This forward-looking technology could not only optimize public transport, but also contribute to resource conservation and environmental friendliness, which st-florian.at emphasizes.
