New center manager: Reymendt brings a breath of fresh air to the Schlössle Gallery!
There is news from the “Schlössle Gallery” in Pforzheim: Bernd Reymendt, 61 years old, is the new center manager of the popular shopping location. After a series of changes at the top of the gallery, he is now taking the reins and wants to stabilize the chosen course. Reymendt describes the ambience of the gallery as “sensational” and emphasizes the “feel-good character” that is intended to attract visitors. He has analyzed the tenant mix and finds it “very, very interesting” – a good prerequisite for the future success of the gallery.
Reymendt is aware of the collective uncertainty that has arisen from the rapid changes at the top of the “Schlössle”. The longing for continuity is palpable and he is determined to promote it by paying close attention to the needs of customers and operators. “Staying on the ball” and doing his “homework” are on his agenda for the time being.
Potential and prospects
With an optimistic view of the future, Reymendt firmly believes that the gallery is on the right track and still has a lot of potential up its sleeve. Developing the “Schlössle-Galerie” not only as a shopping place, but also as a meeting place for the people of Pforzheim is at the top of his agenda.
The center management, of which Reymendt is part, plays an important role. It supports the specific needs of shopping centers and aims to optimize the gallery's market position. Intensive support from retailers is essential to ensure strong loyalty among regular customers. This bond is not only important for sales, but also ensures the rentability and returns of the property. In addition, advertising communities are founded and collective advertising is organized to keep the center alive.
As the MEC website shows, it is crucial to actively influence the competitive environment and, if necessary, expand a center's catchment area in order to guarantee long-term success. These are challenges that Reymendt and his team will face.
The future of the “Schlössle-Galerie” looks bright, and with Bernd Reymendt at the helm, the people of Pforzheim and their guests can look forward to exciting developments. More information can be found on the MEC website.
