Fire trumps gloom – We now have the opportunity to help shape the future – individually and very lively

In a recent article in Textilwirtschaft, Tim Dörpmund, Silke Emig, Jelena Faber and Ulrike Wollenschläger interviewed industry experts such as Meike Finkelnburg, Julian Jansen, Thorsten Stiebing and Stephanie Erhard on this very topic. The message? It's time for a new beginning that goes beyond the obvious.

Let’s open a new chapter for retail together, characterised by meeting places, optimism and genuine encounters. A vision of the future that touches and unites us all. We are not dreaming of the past, but of a future filled with energy, meaningfulness, optimism, the will to change and a dynamic community. Retail thrives on emotions, enthusiasm and strong attitudes. Our customers are looking for a sense of belonging, dialogue, culture and diversity.

It’s about creating real experiences and relationships with our customers and their communities that go beyond the mere product offering and foster real closeness and loyalty. Let’s open a new chapter for retail together, characterised by gathering places, optimism and genuine encounters. A vision of the future that touches and unites us all.

We are looking forward to it! Will you be there?
