The electronics specialist digitec has opened its eleventh branch in Langendorf near Solothurn. It’s the first digitec store in a Migros shopping centre.
digitec has opened its eleventh retail store. The Swiss online retailer’s newest branch is located in the Migros shopping centre «Ladedorf» in Langendorf, Solothurn, only a few minutes by public transport from Solothurn station.
Great potential in the region
Langendorf is the first digitec store in a Migros shopping centre and replaces the former branch of Migros’s specialist retailer melectronics. The Federation of Migros Cooperatives owns 70 percent of Digitec Galaxus. Melectronics will continue its work in the customer service of the shopping centre and handle customer requests, service orders and other inquiries. All melectronics employees remain employed.
«We see great potential for a store in the Solothurn area,» says Florian Teuteberg, CEO of Digitec Galaxus. «Our customers appreciate the personal contact, on-site expert advice and the opportunity to collect and return their orders.» This is reflected in the high turnover the online shop achieves in regions that have a retail store. Previously, the nearest branch for clients from Solothurn was 40 kilometres away at Bern main station.
The new branch also allows Digitec Galaxus to find out if customers like the concept of a digitec store in a Migros shopping centre. «We'll be gathering insights and observations at the Langendorf store,» Florian Teuteberg states.
The party starts at 11:11 a.m.
