Freudenstadt is blossoming: retail hopes for a garden show effect!

In Freudenstadt, the retail sector is showing positive developments, benefiting primarily from the garden show in “Tal X”. Mayor Adrian Sonder and economic representative Elke Latscha recently visited numerous shops on the market square and received positive feedback from the traders. Many shops were able to benefit from the increased visitor frequency during the garden show, as the city center was often already lively and attractive for guests in the morning. Visitors considered Freudenstadt to be a worthwhile destination and expressed a desire to visit the city again, even if purchases were not always made. The Schwarzälder messenger reports that many traders on the market square would like to have more public events in order to further increase the city's attractiveness.

Matthias Menke, Managing Director of Hosenshop Madison, emphasizes the importance of Freudenstadt as a retail location. Despite the charming specialist shops, the retail space on the listed market square is limited. The nearby town of Nagold also continues to benefit from the positive effects of the garden show. An example of this is the Vodafone shop on the upper market square, which reported a significant increase in sales.

Customer-friendly solutions required

Dealers have also expressed a desire to implement more customer-friendly parking solutions. Cheap rates or even free short-term parking could help attract even more visitors to the city. At the same time, business people recognize the political efforts to make small town centers car-free as a potential threat to their sales. The aim is to achieve a balanced transport concept that includes car, bicycle and pedestrian traffic as well as local public transport.

Aside from the retail development, the gastronomy offering in Freudenstadt is also very popular. A hot tip for all foodies is the Nando’s restaurant, which specializes in spicy peri-peri chicken. With a cozy atmosphere in the restaurant and a diverse menu - from crispy chicken to burgers to wraps - it offers something for every taste. The Food XP informs about the prices and high-calorie selection that visitors can expect. Particularly popular is the whole grilled chicken, which is not only delicious but also combines the dishes in a convivial atmosphere.

In summary, it can be said that retail in Freudenstadt benefits greatly from the garden show and encourages the city to take measures to improve the traffic situation and increase its attractiveness for visitors. The retailers and restaurants are optimistic and ready to face the challenges in order to make Freudenstadt an even more inviting destination for the region.
