- Migros is withdrawing from the German market by selling the Tegut supermarket chain to Edeka and other buyers.
- Edeka intends to incorporate roughly 200 of Tegut’s more than 300 stores into its cooperative network.
- The Tegut brand is expected to disappear by the end of 2026, with employees informed about the process.
- The transaction awaits approval from the Federal Cartel Office and will cause significant impacts on Migros’ 2025 financial results.
The decision to sell Tegut was extremely difficult for us. The great commitment of colleagues over the challenging past months deserves my highest respect. Nevertheless, the analysis clearly showed that a full sale under the current market conditions offers the best long-term perspective for all involved — especially for the employees, but also for the customers.", said Patrick Pörtig, CEO of Migros Zürich.— Patrick Pörtig, CEO of Migros Zürich, said
