Why KTV becomes a ghost town on Mondays – an insider report!
In the Kröpeliner-Tor-Vorstadt (KTV) in Rostock there is an unusual quiet on Mondays. While many other cities wake up at the beginning of the week, KTV remains quiet and tranquil. Some small shops, cafes and restaurants have recognized this and are simply not opening. The newer establishments in particular, such as the bistro “Chez Mara”, which opened at the beginning of August, are closed on Mondays. In times when sales are often seen as crucial, many restaurateurs and retailers do not take the closure on Monday lightly.
Loud Northern Courier Numerous coffee culture delights such as “My Vint”, “Crappy Happy Crafts” and “Gerda und das Glück” have closed their doors on Mondays. One of the reasons is that Monday is traditionally considered a quiet day in the catering industry. Many businesses use this day for organizational tasks, such as accounting or project work. The “Sequential Art” bookstore is also working on other projects instead of selling.
Open stores: a ray of hope?
Another culinary insider tip in the KTV is the KTV canteen, which offers a successful mix of German and Vietnamese cuisine. This restaurant is also closed on Mondays, but anyone who visits from Tuesday to Friday can look forward to an unbeatable lunch menu. Prices range up to €9 per person and feedback from guests is consistently positive. Here, good old food from grandmother's kitchen is celebrated, complemented by a welcoming atmosphere and friendly service.
Monday as a haven of peace
Overall, it shows that Monday in KTV is not only a day of rest, but also an opportunity for realignment. With a well-thought-out concept for the remaining days of the week, stores may even be able to motivate one or two businesses that close on Mondays to get back on their feet. Anyone who stops by KTV on Mondays can hope for relaxing silence and innovative approaches that will revitalize the catering market. It remains to be seen how businesses will take advantage of this quiet day in the future.
