XXXLutz opens a huge furniture store in Salzgitter-Salder – On to the shopping offensive!
The city of Salzgitter is getting a new player in the furniture business: The furniture store chain XXXLutz has big plans for a branch in Salzgitter-Salder, which responds to a supply gap and increasing interest from the population. The city council has already supported the project and is optimistic about the development of retail in the region. So reported News38 that the new location is to be built south of Kanalstrasse and in the immediate vicinity of the A39 motorway.
The size of the planned furniture store is already making people sit up and take notice: With an area of around 50,500 square meters, including around 30,000 square meters of retail space and 590 parking spaces, the furniture store could further increase the attractiveness of Salzgitter. A location in Thiede was originally considered, but the city is now seeing an alternative development scenario. This is also because the spatial planning and land use plan has to be adapted, as the area is primarily intended for agricultural use, like that Regional today reported.
The path to implementation
At the same time, the city of Salzgitter is positioning itself well. A Council document has already been prepared and will be submitted to political bodies for a vote. These committees must decide before construction actually begins. Public participation is also still pending; citizens in particular should be included in the decision-making process. Nevertheless, the head of the building department, Michael Tacke, could expect construction to begin next year, even if possible delays cannot be ruled out.
For the city administration, this is an important step towards strengthening retail. After all, the role of the city center as a trading location has changed significantly in recent years. The importance of stationary retail has decreased due to the increasing shift in sales towards online retail, which is putting inner-city development under pressure, explains an article on retail.de. This makes it all the more important to create new incentives and offers for the population in order to counteract vacancies.
The challenges that retail has experienced during the Corona crisis have led many cities to rethink their retail strategies. It is not uncommon for traditional shopping experiences to be complemented by innovative concepts. The return of production facilities to city centers could help bring about this change and increase the attractiveness of the locations.
In summary, it can be said that the planned XXXLutz furniture store in Salzgitter-Salder can provide a new impetus for the region's retail landscape. The city hopes for a positive development that will not only improve the offering for consumers, but also strengthen the overall attractiveness of the city center as a shopping and living space.
