XXXLutz is coming to Salzgitter: New furniture store for the region!
Something big is happening in Salzgitter: the well-known furniture store chain XXXLutz plans to open a new location. The decision is based on an existing supply gap and the growing demand from citizens who can hope for a wider choice when purchasing furniture. The city council has clearly supported the project and plans to adapt the retail development concept to make the settlement possible.
The new location is expected to be located south of Kanalstraße, in close proximity to the A39 motorway in Salzgitter-Salder. An impressive furniture store of around 50,500 square meters is planned, with a sales area of around 30,000 square meters available. Around 590 parking spaces will make the shopping experience easier for customers, which certainly shows a good hand for urban development.
Support of the city administration
The city of Salzgitter is already considering the project with a recommendation for the establishment of a larger furniture store. A council document prepared by the administration is prepared for the upcoming committee meetings. This support shows that the city wants to consistently seize the opportunities that arise from such a project.
The construction project requires the preparation of a development plan, whereby the original location on Eisenhüttenstrasse in Thiede was abandoned in favor of the new plan. The areas that are currently used for agriculture must be repurposed accordingly. The spatial planning authority is involved in the planning process to ensure smooth development.
Retail context and future prospects
The experts' assessment that the new furniture store will have no negative impact on regional competition or the cityscape gives hope for a well-thought-out planning process. Nevertheless, the topic of stationary retail remains exciting with a look at developments in city centers. Changes in consumer habits have a strong impact on retail frequencies and sales retail.de stated.
Brick-and-mortar retail, once the pulse of the city center, is facing challenges that have been exacerbated by online competition and the coronavirus pandemic. Many cities have to reposition themselves. The establishment of a large furniture market in Salzgitter shows that the city is reacting to the changing conditions and is actively taking steps to increase its attractiveness as a trading location.
Overall, the city administration is already planning to sell the area this year, which makes the head of the building department, Michael Tacke, optimistic. Even if he does not rule out delays, he hopes that construction will begin next year. In any case, the citizens of Salzgitter can be excited to see what awaits them - after all, this is an important project for the city.
