Located in small towns and in the outskirts of cities, the approximitly 450 nahkauf markets offer a wide range of products and play an important part in meeting the needs of many small communities. They are run by independent retailers.
As local suppliers, they offer a streamlined range of food products across retail spaces of between 400 and 800 square metres, with a particularly extensive selection in the fresh produce and regional food sectors. Against the backdrop of the needs of families and senior citizens, increased environmental awareness and the desire for time-saving shopping, nahkauf is gaining in importance as a modern neighbourhood supermarket.
The nahkauf Box also represents a modern local retail concept, having revolutionised the shopping world since March 2022. In a compact space of around 40 square metres, customers can find up to 1,000 carefully selected items for their daily needs – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What makes it special is that the nahkauf Box operates entirely without staff. This innovative ‘walk-in store’ solution combines the advantages of a traditional supermarket with the flexibility of a vending machine. It offers a hassle-free shopping experience that is perfectly tailored to the needs of modern consumers.
