Zentrale Supermarket AG: Delegates accept the transformation of Migros

An important step for the new Migros. According to the press release, delegates “clearly” agreed on the basis for restructuring the Migros universe. “Delegates are convinced that Migros Supermarket AG is the right and important step to strengthen Migros’ core business for the benefit of customers,” said Marianne Meyer, President of the House of Delegates.

Regionally managed Migros wants to make its main business more profitable by centralizing it with supermarkets in Supermarket AG. Smaller stores should be created and the store network should be renewed in certain regions. “We are also standardizing the range of services and products for our customers across Switzerland,” Migros boss Mario Irminger (58) said in a recent interview with Blick.

Smaller board on second try

The new structure also brings with it a smaller board of directors. Instead of the previous 23 people, there are now 13 people sitting there. It took two tries. In September, delegates still refused to downsize. The reason was Migros boss Irminger. He was originally supposed to be the 14th member of the board. According to the news of “Bilanz”, the delegates of the Zurich Cooperative resisted this. They cited standards of governance and demanded that Irminger resign from the MGB board.

Now the delegates have been heard. Irminger drops her voice. In today’s press release, it was stated that “The President of the MGB General Directorate attends the meetings in an advisory capacity.”

Time is very important for Migros. Supermarket AG is scheduled to start on January 1. There was a decrease in cooperative sales last year. Migros’ boss said, “Recently, we have lost sight of our main goal of producing the best product for Migros at the cheapest price.” They missed the opportunity to renew their store network in certain regions.
