Bistro-Café Iglu at the parade place surprisingly closes its doors

The bistro café "Iglu" at the parade ground in Pirmasens surprisingly hired its operation. The tenants are now looking for a subsequent tenant, which is an unexpected development for the property developer and supervisor Südwest GmbH from Karlsruhe, which acts as a lessor. "We are completely surprised," said a representative of society for this sudden termination of business activities.

The charm of the former pavilion, which previously invited visitors to the relaxed atmosphere with his opening times from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Despite these specified times, which are still displayed online, the tables and chairs are now unused and abandoned. A look at the bistro shows that there is no longer a life there. The place that was once a popular meeting place now looks dreary and abandoned.

unexpected turn for the bistro

In the past few weeks, the condition of the bistro had obviously deteriorated, but the decision of the operators came as a surprise to many. In the past there was no evidence of problems or signs of restructuring that had indicated a closure. The suddenness of this turn reveals questions about the reasons for the demolition of business activities.

The closure not only affects the former operators who are now looking for a subsequent tenant, but also throws a light on the current situation in the catering trade in general. More and more small cafes and restaurants are confronted with overcoming economic hurdles that arise from increasing operating costs and changing consumer habits. The Iglu-Café is not the only company that fights with such challenges.

The very short -term retreat from business could be considered another sign of the uncertainties that many restaurateurs currently live through. The developer and supervisor Südwest GmbH now has the challenge of finding a new tenant for the attractive but currently disused pavilion. The location has potential, but needs a fresh approach to bring back to life, which was once a pulsating café.

In the tactically speaking, the best location, at the parade square, could be a redesign of the offer or a new concept to be decisive in order to regain the attraction to future guests. It remains to be seen how fast and in what form a subsequent tenant can be found and whether it is able to bring back the lost liveliness of the "Iglu". These developments in the catering scene are formative and show that the industry is changing.
