Farewell to the Raiffeisen market: 20% discount until closing!
The Raiffeisen market in Riede is closing its doors, which is causing a stir among the citizens. Many have already been looking forward to the 20 percent discount on almost all retail items until the end of January 2026. But there are restrictions: gift vouchers, deposits, rental pallets and existing orders are excluded from the offers. The market address at Raiffeisenstrasse 1 will be known until it closes.
In general, the market offered a wide range of products, ranging from gardening supplies and animal products to craft and household items. The products included everything a garden or animal lover could love, including fertilizers, potting soil, lawn mowers, grilling accessories and more. There was also a wide selection of tools, machines and functional clothing for craftsmen and DIY enthusiasts. Especially in the run-up to Christmas, customers were delighted with festive decorations and gift ideas.
Creeping change in retail
The closure of the Raiffeisen market is seen as a loss for the local community. Especially in times like these, when retail is generally struggling, it is regrettable that a popular destination for regional products is being lost. According to a report by German Trade Association 4,500 stores in Germany are expected to close in 2023. The situation has worsened since the Corona pandemic, affecting not only business but also the mood among consumers - the effects of the Ukraine war are also contributing to the uncertainty.
While the Raiffeisen market is closing in Lower Saxony, markets in other regions are experiencing completely different circumstances. The Raiffeisen market in Vreden, North Rhine-Westphalia, is going into a temporary clearance sale to make room for renovation work. This new opening is announced for March 20, 2026, and it remains exciting to see how retail will present itself in new locations. calf reports similar developments, with moves and conversions becoming widespread in the industry.
The look ahead
The closures and relocations lead to a depressing reality in retail. According to HDE President Alexander von Preen, this development is “dramatic”. A concept for renewing the existing store structures could help. The calls for additional investment incentives and tax breaks to promote digitalization and modernization show the path that many in the industry want to take.
It remains to be hoped that consumers in the region will take advantage of the clearance sale in the Raiffeisen market in Riede to purchase local products one last time and thus show their support for regional trade. The market may be closing, but the desire for thriving retail remains strong.
