Future of the Aalen fabric business in the floating: closure threatens!

Benzstraße 5, 73430 Aalen, Deutschland - The renowned fabric shop Glaeser Textil in Aalen faces an uncertain future. As the Schwäbische Post will probably be concluded at the end of April 2025 if no succeeding is who continues the fabric trade in personal responsibility and in cooperation with Glaeser Textil.

The Situation is tense because the branch manager and her deputy terminated shortly before Christmas for personal reasons. Eberhard Brack, managing partner of the Glaes Group, describes retail with fabrics as challenging because the location in Aalen has so far not achieved any positive financial results. In particular, the conversion of the hall and a subsequent road construction site led to a decline in customer frequency. The rental agreement for the fabric shop was terminated on time for the end of June 2025.
