XXXLutz: Market entry in April
Austrian furniture retailer XXXLutz is opening its first furniture store in Switzerland in April - at the Stilhaus in Rothrist.
Last spring, XXXLutz had already announced that it would open its first store in Switzerland in spring 2018. How the Handelszeitung now reported, the site in Rothrist is scheduled to open in April. The local authorities have issued the building permit.
As of the end of 2017, XXXLutz has leased 21,000 sqm of operating space, including 13,000 sqm of sales space, in the "Stilhaus", a shopping center that focuses on the themes of building, living and furnishing. The company said at the time that it wanted to present primarily high-quality designer and brand-name furniture and a wide range of home accessories on three floors.
The site in Rothrist is not to remain the only one, reports the Handelszeitung. The focus is on the areas of Zurich North, Zurich West, Lyssach and Arc Lémanique.
With its forthcoming market entry in Switzerland, the XXXLutz Group is represented in ten European countries. It operates around 246 furniture stores with a total of 21,500 employees. The group turnover is 4.2 billion euros.
