Würzburg is hit hard: these stores will close forever in 2025!
A lot has happened in Würzburg in the last few months, especially in the catering and retail sectors. On June 13, 2025, the regional media will report on the impending closures of various shops and restaurants, which will permanently change the urban landscape. The reasons for these developments are diverse and often linked to the economic conditions of recent years. The high costs caused by inflation and global crises are taking a toll on companies.
It starts with the closures in Würzburg, which affect numerous long-established companies. Loud Würzburg life The **Stephans Bookstore** will close on April 19, 2025 after an impressive 60 years. The owner's health problems and the increasingly difficult economic conditions are the deciding factors. Also affected is the **Kebap Haus 84**, whose owner would like to return to Düsseldorf. Its closing is expected to take place in August 2025, although this date could be postponed if there is a buyer.
The catering establishments in focus
The catering industry is suffering particularly badly from the current challenges. According to a study by Statista Around 62,000 restaurants in Germany will close between 2019 and 2023. In 2023 alone, around 48,000 catering businesses closed, and 6,100 of them even filed for bankruptcy. These figures reflect that the industry is far from recovering from the effects of the corona pandemic.
Another example from Würzburg is the restaurant **La Bamba**, which will close at the end of April 2025 after one last event as the building will be demolished to make room for a new building. A similarly sad picture emerges at **MannyGreen**, whose last event took place in summer 2024 and is due to officially close in April 2025.
A look into the future
The closures are not just an issue in Würzburg. Loud ZDF We are seeing a continuous increase in insolvencies in the industry, which particularly affect small businesses and new businesses. The fact is that 49 percent of insolvencies since 2020 have affected companies that are five years old or less. This shows that it is particularly difficult for new catering concepts to assert themselves in the market.
In Würzburg, the **Modehaus Völk** is also affected by a closure, which will take place at the end of the first quarter of 2025. Despite the difficult situation, however, new stores are opening, hoping to fill the economic gap left by the closures.
Finally, it should be noted that the catering and retail sectors are in a phase of change that is noticeable not only in Würzburg, but throughout Germany. The coming months will be crucial in determining whether new concepts can survive and how the market will develop further.
