Migros pulls out a suitable shoe-full. The big announcement project with unmanned vending machines showed that the current model is not profitable according to demand. Migros Aare announced this.
Therefore, profitability is not given in the long run. The management decided to finish the pilot project in mid-February 2023. The demolition process has begun for the three “Voi Cubes” in the Bern region. Searching for a solution for further use.
not economical
With the current model at Voi Cube, it has been shown that the costs measured according to demand are still too high and profitability cannot be given in the long run. Meaning: Voi Cube flops.
However, thanks to the pilot project, “valuable experience” was gained regarding a similar project carried out under the name “Migros Teo” in Eastern Switzerland. Migros Ostschweiz opened its first store in Thurgau, under this name, in mid-October.
Winterthur and Kloten
A branch office was opened in Winterthur ZH soon after. According to media reports, a third store is also planned in Kloten ZH. It is not yet clear whether these will be better received by customers. (pbe/SDA)
